And the king doesn't even know what a true sham the rest of the world sees it as. Either nobody can explain it to him in a clear enough way, or he has different principles.<BR/><BR/>Sad thing is, if the king would just trust the venting of his people, in this case it was a doctored photo, but words could offend just as easily. The kid in jail is only going to grow angrier, and have even more to say against the king by this judgment. So, some countries work by different logic than free speech, I guess. And the entire population, suffers for it, and is restricted in their potentials, both personally and nationwide.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, Shakespeare!growingupartistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399714569663568902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-52125985585829433802009-04-03T18:24:00.000-07:002009-04-03T18:24:00.000-07:00Oh, that's easy.

Speed of thought IS fast, now that you mention it, and not very interesting. Maybe the secret's in soap operas, it may even be too clever Gossip Girls. Not sure, I guess, use words you enjoy. Words that describe the world of your making.<BR/><BR/>Also, lots of contraction marks and inexcusable slang. Whatevah!

Back in the Ye Olde Quill Days, there wasn't as much stuff to clutter your mind. Shakespeare's mind probably had something like this on his To Do List:<BR/><BR/>a) Do not die of plague<BR/>b) Do not get thrown in the Tower of London<BR/>c) Pick up ruff and tights at the cleaners.<BR/>d) Write 22 hours a day.Joehttp://blog.vinapedia.netnoreply@blogger.com
