Edg, The scene starts with the camera zooming in on the face of Jack Palance, who is dressed up as a chief of Outer Mongolia. He grunts and and gives his signature smile saying, That was good. That last sentence is a mind blower! Let me ponder that one for a while. I'll think of a response

I'm not a big one for conspiracy theories, period, because of Occam's Razor. It's always more likely that the event(s) transpired because of Everyday Human Stupidity than because of some elaborate plot that would then need covering up. But the reason I'm replying, Edg, is to talk about

If I were to believe in a myth, it would be that individuals CAN change the world they find themselves in, right here, right now, and that imaginary cycles of time have nothing whatever to do with it. God's plan? Man, I don't believe in a God, period, much less that he/she/it has a *plan*. The

H, I'm no expert; I have concluded from my readings of Hindu scriptures that Krishna's death marked the beginning of Kali Yuga. Dwapara Yuga folks are supposed to live 2,000 years or something like that, so I'm as confused as a non-expert can be, but it doesn't matter. (And by the way, I'm

Maybe it's just a writer thang, tripping on language. It's just been striking me lately that the language we use when describing to ourselves the world we live in kinda defines our state of attention. Use sloppy or not-fully-thought-through language, and you're living in a sloppy,

Edg, I like your humor and wisdom. My comments to your piece are as follows: 1. Krishna never died! He willingly disappeared according to Shrimad Bhagavatam. I don't know how Vyasa (the presumed writer of SB) knew that, since as he writes, even the demigods were puzzled by the
