Nay, for the frost did delay my flight but little, and thus there being a little frost there should be but a little rant.

One may's well rant against the raging sea or the blowing wind, but the sea doth continue to rage and the wind doth continue to blow nonetheless. What shall more ranting do, then? Therefore I protest, and keep silence after, and let the winds blow where they may. |

wrote: begin rant Forsooth, I dislike it. end rant begin reply rant I thought 'forsooth' meant 'hurry', but that isn't how you used it. So I looked it up in the dictionary, which says it means "in truth; indeed. (Later with irony)." I haven't read old Shakespeare in over 25 years, avoiding it like the plague. English isn't my subject, and Shakespeare isn't the least bit entertaining; unless one enjoys word play, I suppose. But your use of the word 'forsooth' has apparent significant meaning to you; beyond your affinity for Shakespeare. It is applicable to your dislike of frost, for it is forsoothly ironical that you chose to live in the northern part of the U.S., since it is closer to your actual home of Canada. Again I suppose. You have a constant and unexplained grouchiness in your posts I find difficult to take. (I'm grouchy,too; though with explanation. And I'm glad if you can't put up with it.) Having seen this grouchiness revealed in other news groups, I'm convinced it is because you are a Canadian immigrant, who is out of place; though you think this should be your place. Maybe your actually British? Or Aussie? No, the 'frost' reference points to Canada. Return there. The apparent nationalism you feel to the Shakespearian commonwealth betrays the nationalism you would take away from those who refused its identity. This is impossible to resolve morally; even as you hide in a position you think impossible to uncover. But the more you want to reveal the truth then the more your life becomes part of a lie. To love yourself you must hate your neighbor. In this news group, you have defended immigration; angrily, repeatedly, without qualification. So I'm convinced, as you can see, that you are one. Therefore by definition you are not an American, since you do not reside in your home. Uncontrolled immigration is an act of war against a nation. The sanest consideration for all nations is to fight it, regardless of the extent it has occurred in the past. So I fight that war. Melt your own frost, build your own glory; thief. We were not created to carry the burden of all of you, not even one of you. Even you. The Statue of Liberty in Truth now says, "Immigrants! Forsooth, I dislike them." (Supposition ends) end reply rant |

(Supposition ends) end reply rant LOL. Great post. In fact, I was born in Boise, Idaho and, except when in the military, have always lived in the United States, though we frequently travel abroad. The Puget Sound area is actually relatively free of frost for most of the year. We have very few days where frost appears. Many people around here successfully grow palm trees, albeit we obviously prefer our native firs and cedars. |

Many people around here successfully grow palm trees, albeit we obviously prefer our native firs and cedars. Apologies. After reading your reply, I'm having difficulty calling it a 'great post'; though I do take this seriously. There is some eating of words in a couple of assumptions; along with the thought of writing something like that with few actual facts, and towards a standard in a news group I do enjoy. ![]() Though Shakespeare is not a favorite, I did enjoy your follow-up. I live where palm trees grow quite easily, among other things. It's at a different border than the one near you; its a different region entirely. The weather's warmer than Puget Sound, but I don't think you would enjoy it. We get along by political necessity, and that is not a comfortable feeling. I really don't want those circumstances to grow. But at least it's temporary, in my case. -- Mike |
