Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

{there's an understandable slippage, a passive glide into lessened knowing on the part of many prominent voices in this light-filled arena. the idea that the most substantive predicament the most important topic is 'war' and only that, the presence of an image in the minds of all of us of a man who is purported to be the 'leader' of America, these things are real, but chaff, bits of tinfoil to foul the radar, but more than that too, tinfoil that kills on its own. so it is understandable. at the same time someone as deservedly respected as rebecca blood posts her concern and bewilderment that the American military is dropping 'yellow food packets' down upon the very places it has dropped 'yellow cluster bombs', and this one and a half years after the same 'incompetence' in Afghanistan.

when does it become unavoidable? when is it too obvious? it's denial. this can't be happening. and it's that simple.
