The Joffrey Ballet's - The Green Table



Nice to see a dance review ( Dancing With Death ) that goes way beyond the generally shallow political understanding of the elite media. I've never seen the Joffrey Ballet's The Green Table - though it was quite a hit decades ago when I went to dance concerts often. I figured that an anti-war polemic in those days must be as shallow as the morons marching in the streets were when I went to Penn on 1969.

Guess I've changed - but then so has the spirit of the times.

Thank you Henry Johnson for a perceptive read.

The virtue(?!) of tolerance

“In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”

[Dorothy L. Sayers, qu in Charles Colson, Against the Night: Living in the New Dark Ages, Hodder, 1990, p 93.]
