What in J.C.’s name is this?

September 18, 2007

It suddenly occurred to me that Johnny Cash’s initials are J.C. This totally changes everything! Q: What Would J.C. Do? A: Drink whiskey and throw the tv out of the motel room window, of course.

My how things have changed:

Plato’s The Laws:

Athenian Stranger (coming to the end of a long dialogue with a Cretan and a Spartan) : This then – the knowledge of the natures and the habits of the souls – is one of the things that is of the greatest use for the art whose business it is to care for souls. And we assert that that art is politics. Or what?

Spartan: It certainly is.

Now imagine Harper or Bush saying something like this (that had no Christian overtones.) Oh, come on, just TRY to imagine!
