ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Julia, do you think that they care what you think? "East is East and West is West and never t' twain shall meet." I just wish they'd run out of oil real quick so we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. Hey Popeye... and all... ...there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth ... #1. Though I've never done it, not even considered it... puttin a burka on a sub seems like a pretty hot idea (especially here in SoCal during the summer). #2. That "East is East and West is West" quote is actually one of the most misunderstood and mis-used quotes of all.... Here's Kipling's entire stanza, which actually speaks of the common experience of "Man", and how we are all more similar than different! The last two lines totally refute, and turn the first two lines of "conventional wisdom" on their head. The rest of the poem continues in that theme... The Ballad of East and West Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth! DD, a heretical, poetical old goat PS... http://www.bartleby.com/246/1129.html PSS... the more I think of it, the more I like the idea of having my love naked, oiled, perfumed, lubed, and available, but under a burka-like thing out in public..... edited to format the poem a tad.....
