My most humble, honorable, and deepest apologies ...

But ... INSTEAD of three cups of tea, I'd rather have three mugs of beer right now !!!

Saw the PBS special. Sure doesn't look good. I guess I ended up naive on this one... after all, Obama donated part of his Nobel Peace Prize money, and when was Obama ever wrong? Wait, what I meant is... But seriously, when I heard the US Military was requiring TCOT as reading, I thought CAI had been well-vetted, because when was the military ever wrong? Wait, what I want to say is... oh skip it.

There is always one easy answer, the wrong one. Mortenson is not a saint, and is not a Madoff. It turns out, apparently, that he is too good to be true. That doesn't mean there's no good and no truth there. Read Greek tragedy?

Was beginning to think everybody was RIGHT in politics, until I also saw some folks pushing their unending agenda on the LEFT.

Would be amazing if more people took Neil Young's advice ..

Wait, are you saying he married his mother and killed his father (Oedipus)... or killed his mother after she killed his father (Orestes)... or dismembered his brother and killed his children (Medea)? No, nothing quite like that, but maybe those extreme acts were meant to be allegories for tribulations in the real world. More like the Mayor of Casterbidge.
