I've been dying to hear a performance of Shakespeare in the "Original Pronunciation"

Can we go back to the check-box/check-all system for deleting PM's?

The new system is a little cumbersome.

Saturday, September 7th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.



"One may smile, and smile, and be a villain whilst he smiles."

Hamlet, Act I, Scene 5, Line 108.

Monday, September 2nd. The Labor Day Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.



"Idle old man,
That still would manage the authorities
That he hath given away!"

King Lear, Act I, Scene 3, Lines 16-18.



Of course, I had wanted to post a labor or pro-union theme for today, but when I ran across this quote, the topicality of it inspired me to change the subject.

However: Union strong! Happy Labor Day!

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
