Dealing . . .

. . . with a bully. . .



(from http://www.gustrength.com/critical-thinking:how-to-win-an-argument)
". . . (Bruce) Lee is on a boat traveling from Hong Kong to an island where there is a hardcore martial arts tournament run by this evil rogue Shaolin monk, Han. . . Also on the boat is a New Zealand martial artist who is trying to intimidate the other passengers…his likely opponents. Like any true bully, he picks on the boat's smaller crew members. While this is going on, Lee is peacefully standing at the rail, looking out at the water. . . So the bully, after kicking a steward into the water, turns on Lee and tries to get him to fight. Which Lee ignores…further enraging the bully. But he's also a little baffled. . . He asks Lee what his style is and Lee replies that you could call it the art of fighting without fighting. . . "The art of fighting…without fighting?," replies the bully. "Show me some of it." . . Lee can see that he will have to do something to get this guy off his back so he agrees. But he suggests that they could use more room to fight and points out a nearby island with a sandy beach. ,. . "We can take this boat," says Lee. . . The bully eagerly accepts the invitation and steps into the boat while Lee unties the rope. As soon as the New Zealander is in the boat Lee begins to play out the line and sets the bully adrift behind the boat, stranding him there for the remainder of the trip. . ."

". . . A top diplomat appointed by President Trump revised his testimony to lawmakers in the House's impeachment inquiry, saying in the latest version that the president’s dealings with Ukraine amounted to a clear quid pro quo. . . U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland said Trump withheld U.S. military aid to Ukraine in an effort to secure investigations into the 2016 election and the president’s political adversaries, according to a transcript released Tuesday by Democrats conducting the impeachment investigation. . . His testimony and that of former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker was released Tuesday. . ."

Precedent . . .




". . . No court has ever ruled that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime, but that has been the consistent position of the Justice Department under both Republican and Democratic administrations. . . . In 1974, the court ruled that President Richard Nixon was required to comply with a subpoena directing him to turn over tape recordings of conversations in the White House. . ."

Revolution . . .


(distillation of Cardinal John Henry Newman’s “theory of development” via Christopher Hitchens from https://www. theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/03/the-reactionary/308889/)
". . . All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. . . But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change. If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must be always painting it again; that is, you must be always having a revolution. Briefly, if you want the old white post you must have a new white post. . ."

Druthers . . .




Good people called it black
He says it’s white
They said he never would
He said he might
When will it end

Out of the question seemed
Prospect to be
Taking it seriously
Not you or me
Like make-believe

Who could foresee it
Who had the crystal ball
Undo bit by bit
Without one clue at all
Without decorum
Without a principle
Without a common decency to others
Need my druthers



Crystal Ball
