Curtains should never be drawn.

It is much better if they are lightly sketched

There are three kinds of people
One will say "This glass is half empty"
One will say "This glass is half full"
And one will say "What? There's mead left?"

And it's absolutely right, too :-)

I can't get anything on any of the pages - just boxes with pretty red x's in
them <pout>

"#Ooh, yeah, life goes on! Long after the thrill of living has gone!"

Jack and Diane - John Mellancamp

Good ain't it?

" If I begin the battery once again,
I will not leave the half-achieved Harfleur
Till in her ashes she lie buried.
The gates of mercy shall be all shut up,
And the flesh'd soldier, rough and hard of heart,
In liberty of bloody hand shall range
With conscience wide as hell, mowing like grass
Your fresh-fair virgins and your flowering infants.
What is it then to me, if impious war,
Array'd in flames like to the prince of fiends,
Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats
Enlink'd to waste and desolation?
What is't to me, when you yourselves are cause,
If your pure maidens fall into the hand
Of hot and forcing violation?
What rein can hold licentious wickedness
When down the hill he holds his fierce career?
We may as bootless spend our vain command
Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil
As send precepts to the leviathan
To come ashore. Therefore, you men of Harfleur,
Take pity of your town and of your people,
Whiles yet my soldiers are in my command;
Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace
O'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds
Of heady murder, spoil and villany.
If not, why, in a moment look to see
The blind and bloody soldier with foul hand
Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters;
Your fathers taken by the silver beards,
And their most reverend heads dash'd to the walls,
Your ***** infants spitted upon pikes,
Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused
Do break the clouds, as did the wives of Jewry
At Herod's bloody-hunting slaughtermen.
What say you? will you yield, and this avoid,
Or, guilty in defence, be thus destroy'd?"

I *do* like that speech. It's the whole "you can surrender, or you can
surrender" tone of it ... about fifty lines of "shall we do this the easy
way or the hard way, chaps? Totally up to you ..."

I once got landed with teaching Caesar to a double group of year sevens -
sixty kids squashed in a room meant for twenty, and enough copies for
one-between-three - and we did Mark Antony's speech in the context of the
conspirators being a biker gang slapping their sawn-off pool cues quietly
and menacingly into their palms in the background. That worked :-) They even
got a handle on the politics of it, after that.

.... and then you discover that some of his most passionate sonnets
(including "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"), were actually
dedicated to a man and clause 28 makes even less sense.

Well from the writer of the comic
===========
In other news: Keenspace has implemented a new system to prevent
bandwidth theft and help keep their load times reasonable.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with certain firewalls people use on their
computers to help prevent hacking or viruses; mainly Norton-related
products. If you can view this page, but just get a red "X" where the
comic should be, try the following steps:

1. Open internet Security.
2. click the option button on the top row of buttons.
3. select internet security.
4. click advanced options.
5. click add site.
6. enter keenspace.com
7. now select keenspace.com from the list of websites.
8. click the privacy tab on the right side of the window.
9. click use these rules for check box.
10. set all option to permit.
11. click apply.

Don't know if it works, cause I can see the comic anyways
