"a person is smart...people are dumb..."



"a person is smart...people are dumb..."





Men in Black is on...before was Spiderman...I really like MIB...it's got some great dialog and lines...it even makes a kinda sense!...Spiderman's a favorite too!





Oh...but to the next Age...Ages...





quote





The Brazen Age


To this came next in course, the brazen age:


A warlike offspring, prompt to bloody rage,


Not impious yet...


The Iron Age Hard steel succeeded then:


And stubborn as the metal, were the men.


Truth, modesty, and shame, the world forsook:


Fraud, avarice, and force, their places took.


Then sails were spread, to every wind that blew.


Raw were the sailors, and the depths were new:


Trees, rudely hollow'd, did the waves sustain;


E're ships in triumph plough'd the watry plain.


Then land-marks limited to each his right:


For all before was common as the light.


Nor was the ground alone requir'd to bear


Her annual income to the crooked share,


But greedy mortals, rummaging her store,


Digg'd from her entrails first the precious oar;


Which next to Hell, the prudent Gods had laid;


And that alluring ill, to sight display'd.


Thus cursed steel, and more accursed gold,


Gave mischief birth, and made that mischief bold:


And double death did wretched Man invade,


By steel assaulted, and by gold betray'd,


Now (brandish'd weapons glittering in their hands)


Mankind is broken loose from moral bands;


No rights of hospitality remain:


The guest, by him who harbour'd him, is slain,


The son-in-law pursues the father's life;


The wife her husband murders, he the wife.


The step-dame poyson for the son prepares;


The son inquires into his father's years.


Faith flies, and piety in exile mourns;


And justice, here opprest, to Heav'n returns.

Ovid's kinda loosing control of things...but there it is...humanity at odds with the environment...Nature..and even quicker than Genesis, Ovid depicts mankind at odds with mankind!





The cats on the loose with the galaxy...

"To prevent war, the Galaxy is on Orion's belt."

"meow"

Justice prevailed during the Brazen Age...then in the Iron, flees to Heaven...

That's a bit of a wonder...what's Ovid about!?..brb... And there's a side by side with Plato and his different metal men...for tomorrow!
