First, ladies and gentlemen, please rise

(or get on your knees) for the playing of

our national anthem. You know, the anthem

of the best nation ever (warning: clicking on that

link may cause you to shit or go blind)

The River of Time carries the water of

Truth. The earthen dikes of BS try like hell

to dam it, but such water winds up in an

ocean anyway. Such is Life, and sink or swim,

downstream we all go. One can swim

upstream for a time, use knowledge to

motor, but gas runs out. So whether your

name is mud, or something else, down the

stream you go. Once in a while, a zillion

raindrops temporarily back up that flow,

but The River never stops flowing.

No matter what’s floating on it, or in it.

ready or not, believe it or not,

YOU ARE THE WATER!
