“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” 

Eleanor Roosevelt
                                                                                                      - the quintessential First Lady.


Elegance is most evident in an altruistic intention.  'Class' - too - is most apparent in the exercise of our convictions.  The ultimate sophistication is a developed sense of and commitment to humanity.  Style - at its core - is expression of benevolence once one has identified Order, essential to locating Beauty.  That...with a touch of flare or some aesthetic oomph.  If we are anything at all, we are eternal examples for one another:  what to avoid or where to aspire.  Clear intention in speech is integral here.  Mad-melon 'ups' to Ms. Roosevelt for articulating one's credo that pens every post.  Striving for any quip "great" would prove a fool's errand - wit a quickness.  Nevadaless, let this blogspot be a lab of Roosevelt-worthy "ideas".

With the exception of the particulars of the Bolivian airspace incidiss or the Densuke auction, and perhaps, hey, a future post or two, one has attempted to negate the cable news crawl/tweet-tumultuous deluge of details masquerading as Awareness.  My good peops, one doubts you would bother to read this blog if you were not already in-da-know.  The facts - and subsequent, incessant manipulation of Actuality - are out there, en masse, at our H2Omeloncholic-stained fingertips.  

One hopes to provide a respite from both cacophonous rumor and cowardly whisper.  One departs each post with one's intention: a critique - hopefully clever, but insistent upon compassion.  May we fo'eva remain centered in a realm open to ideas for the evolution of Us-es.  May this discussion elevate the conventional discourse to betta comprehend the impetus behind the acts that constitute events.  What do such happenings communicate about our level of consciousness?  Moreova, may their inherent inspiration become manifest - if not in one's post - than in thine own reflections on topics offered for consideration.  Your author - quirky to care and humbled to be so - would/will be honored to perhaps, play any semblance of some constructive role. 

Certain ladies chose a constructive existence:

http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/1011.html 

Why two separate links?  One knows not.  A web search seemed to consistently separate the intricacies of one citizen's Civil Right's involvement from her contribution to global affairs. (Insert collective H2Omeloncholic™ sigh.)

a clever as compassionate critique
on the implausibility of
POSTness 

Til our next 'post', feast upon produce in season...
