...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last

My latest idea for world peace I think maybe we need to airlift nectarines and cherries and plums and apricots and even plumcots if that's what it takes. We need to sacrifice our best tomatoes to world peace, and go without ourselves. When a person sees his first good tomato after a long cold winter -- well, that person is happy. That person is in a mood to compromise.
A little tomato, a little cucumber, maybe some olive oil -- come, let us reason together.
