This post is dedicated to the incurious majority on this date, in the House of Representatives of the Congress of The United States of America.
"Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skullFrom the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe"
Bob Dylan

The original meaning/use of the word "Idiot"
"An idiot in Athenian democracy was someone who was characterized by self-centeredness and concerned almost exclusively with private--as opposed to public--affairs. Idiocy was the natural state of ignorance into which all persons were born and its opposite, citizenship, was effected through formalized education. In Athenian democracy, idiots were born and citizens were made through education . ...Today, educators and political scientists increasingly resurrect this terminology's etymological origins in order to discuss a growing major problem with modern American republican democracy: self-centeredness."

Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)
And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)
I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)
There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)
I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)
And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)
I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)

The above flag image was made by Alex (sorry, cannot remember her last name) of Brain-Box for me around 2000 or so. It is about The Lake Superior Watershed. Here is some of the text that went with it:
You are 95% water
water is life
water comes into you every day
the vast majority of it is from your watershed
its water is its blood
your blood is its water
the quality of its water is the quality of your blood, your life
Every living thing in the watershed shares this water, this blood
all other identifications and imaginary lines we draw are crossed by this bond we share in our very cells
You are literally from your Watershed

Spinning Away (Eno/Kale)
Up on a hill, as the day dissolves
With my pencil turning moments into line
High above in the violent sky
A silent silver plane – it draws a golden chain
One by one, all the stars appear
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
In the million insect storm, the constellations form
On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I’ve drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time
Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)
And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)
I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)
There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)
I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)
And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)
I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)
Have you visited the
"There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify
Political ends, as sad remains, will die
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you."
From And you & I, part 3 by Yes (1972)

May I have the ability to reduce the uncertainties I can, the willingness to work with the uncertainties I cannot, and the scientific knowledge to know the difference.

"I come to you with strange fire
I make an offering of love
The incense of my soul is burned
By the fire in my blood
I come with a softer answer
To the questions that lie in your path
I want to harbor you from the anger
Find a refuge from the wrath
This is a message
A message of love
Love that moves from the inside out
Love that never grows tired
I come to you with strange fire"

Love that moves from the inside out
Love that never grows tired
I come to you with strange fire"
