Karl Rove --
when Mr. Rove turned toward his table, Ms. Crow touched his arm
and “Karl swung around and spat, ‘Don’t touch me. A little testy
Karl! in the Times

It sounds like dialogue from a bad movie! It is a bad movie --
and we are all in it --the wagon's are circling and the noose is
tightening --- after all it is a cowboy movie and we are the Indians
& we are coming Karl!

-- Sheryl Crow and Laurie David, are the sirens coming
to tempt you but you are so deep into "it" you are lost --
you have ruined so many peoples lives and if you are afraid
--as you should be

"Man for All Seasons" based on the life and morals of Saint Thomas More

His writing and scholarship earned him a considerable reputation as a
Christian humanist in continental Europe, and his friend Erasmus of Rotterdam
dedicated his masterpiece, In Praise of Folly, to him. (Indeed, the title of
Erasmus's book is partly a play on More's name, the word folly being moria in Greek.)
Erasmus also described More as a model man of letters in his communications
with other European humanists.

In 1515 More wrote his most famous and controversial work, Utopia, a novel in
which a fictional traveler, Raphael Hythloday (whose first name is an allusion
to the archangel Raphael, who was the purveyor of truth, and whose surname
means "dispenser of nonsense" in Greek), describes the political arrangements
of the imaginary island nation of Utopia (a play on the Greek ou-topos, meaning
"no place", and eu-topos, meaning "good place"). In the book, More contrasts
the contentious social life of European states with the perfectly orderly and
reasonable social arrangements of the Utopia, where private property does not
exist and almost complete religious toleration is practiced.

The movie "Man for All Seasons"--1966, directed by Fred Zimmerman,
(High Noon and From Here to Eternity,) " is the undoing
of a powerful man whose principled refusal to act on behalf of his
King, Henry VIII claim to be supreme head
of the Church of England which ended his careeer and he was put to
death as a traitor the antagonist in the movie Richard Rich
played by the brilliant John Hurt, was rewared for his wrong doing
and made Chancellor of Wales by the King and wears a piece of bling
around his neck, the seal of Wales.
-- one of the last scenes is More looking at the seal around Richard’s neck
and says very softly " and this for Wales!"
Rove outdoes all the antagonists in all of Shakespeare's plays, all tyrants and
all devils. What does Mr.Rove want to hang about his neck I wonder!
Perhaps the real question is "What would the world like to see"
but only after he has gone to the Hague for trial.
