Quote:

Respect is not a vogue notion...
There are other people who like to get along. They do not waste others' time. They respect other people. They want to develop a community of pleasant conversation where people can learn, discuss and argue.



Really? Respect is exactly a vogue notion when it is bestowed by design. Respect happens, you don't give it, it just is.


Did you miss the under-current theme when you first saw "No time for Sargents"?
Did you fall asleep when you first heard the Richard Strauss tonepoem, "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks".

The point is this...

The poorest among us
Demand status quo
- And rightly so
As they have the status
And you have the hoe.

I hope I haven't wasted "others'" time.
