Yes, it definitely is. To quote Willy Wonka,
A little nonsense now and then
Is valued by the wisest men.
No problem epK :)
That's one of my favorite films, too! I rented it not too long ago.
so much depends upon
a red wheel barrow
glazed with rain water
beside the white chickens.
I’ve never had any idea what the hell that poem means. And I suspect that neither Breitbart, nor William Carlos Williams, had a clue either.
I think Breitbart and William Carlos Williams understood it very well.
The red wheelbarrow glistening in the rain represents the simple things so taken for granted they are overlooked - even though they are beautiful for what they so simply, but perfectly, accomplish, and upon which far more complex and interesting things utterly depend.
Like the lives of the chickens eating the feed the wheelbarrow brings, or living in the cleanliness that results from the wheelbarrow being used to carry out the waste.
The Doctrine of Negative Rights also glistens like a red wheelbarrow in the rain... but all the white chickens are inside the house with the drapes drawn, mesmerized by statutory law, while the wheelbarrow slowly rusts outside, ignored...

I think the chickens are cowards?
“Man, I wish I hung out with the guy.”
After a while, you would get tired of Ayers’ BS!!
That’s beautiful, man.

Great post - thanks. When The FR search function becomes infallible I’ll still appreciate the effort to get the good stuff out there.
