Ain't that the truth!!

I tend to be bored by the Ancients, the Classics and yes, even the dear, dead, deranged Geniuses (unless their lives had been interesting enough to merit a story in history's equivalent of a tabloid newspaper). There's more than enough in the here and now to keep me amazed, amused, educated and occupied...and pedantic pedagogy makes me if not .

But I do come back to these discussions (frightening as that might be )...and am wondering why...and if maybe I should seek out a 'smiley' that has his tongue embedded in his cheek...
