Leanne: "... new (and there's a good chance it's not entirely
new anyway, since almost everything we do is just a modification
of something much older)
Since there's nothing new under the sun* except for Apple products
and useless kitchen gadgets (all IS vanity), I thank the gods each
day for our poor memories. Nothing makes ponderous piles of fascinating
NEWNESS faster than forgetting. (Or confirms, to our mars-like egos,
that we are truly the very soul of innovation.)
*Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.
No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come
will not be remembered by those who follow them.
Ecclesiastes 1:10-11
Leanne: "(by the ignorant, who have since been severely educated)"
It's a calling! I'm assuming you hold a degree in "Severe Education".
(Let me guess... it's a third degree, isn't it?)
Leanne: "I see no reason why an unpleasant or even crass ... subject
should be treated in a less than elegant fashion. The bum crack is as
important (if not moreso) to a woman as her twinkling starlike eyes
or queenly ankles."
The devil (as well as a few of those gods) is surely in that de-tail.
abu nuwas: "I have no idea whether you are suggestive, and should not
say id I did. I of course meant 'suggestible'..."
It's a writer's job to be suggestive.
