Everyone has their hand out, everyone wants a bailout, everyone wants a piece of the action, including the nation's clergy

America as I've always known it is dead. Well and truly dead.

Fie, foh and fumme, we mark the birth of an Englishman

Childe Rowland to the darke Tower came, His word was still, fie, foh, and fumme, I smell the blood of a Brittish man.

-- Edgar in William Shakespeare's King Lear, Act III, Scene IV

Libertarianism is incapable of even responding to a pandemic

Because libertarianism cares nothing for the πᾶν, only for the deme of one, the self.

For this reason it appears to others that libertarians even want the ill among the πᾶν to die, who would have died anyway, they say. Who wouldn't have died anyway, of course, but for the pandemic.

The libertarians are the most loathsome members of our society, as were the dog philosophers of old.

A coronavirus victim's prayer

If, while this wearied flesh draws fleeting breath,

Not satisfy'd with life, afraid of death,

It hap'ly be thy will, that I should know

Glimpse of delight, or pause from anxious woe;

From now, from instant now, great Sire, dispel

The clouds that press my soul.

-- Matthew Prior, "poet by accident" (1664-1721)

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 

-- Mark 11:11
