When you get run over by a zebra, or have a piano fall on you.

When you know right from wrong, it's so easy.

Well not easy, but easier.

This is what gets Bush & Co. in trouble. They have beliefs and stand by them, they start to talk about them and then shit hits the fan. Not saying I agree or disagree with them.

Life is simple really....but not so if you question your OWN beliefs. Being considerate and open minded is all good and fine, but if you stand for nothing really, and anything goes...who are you and why should we care?

When the Party says so

"Blackwhite: Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say the black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary."

Is this a koan or something? Like "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

Black is white when it's subtracted from itself.

I was thinking more along the lines of the rat cages you wear on your face.

White is black when you make yourself you believe it is. But I definately agree with Michael Jackson.

It's like trying to imagine the black-petal rose on a white background.
