James Crystal rhapsodizes being inside the beltway:

Maybe I've lurched into the best way to FLOW with what's going down on the American populace in DC---politicians are paint drying! So, it could be that 'Life is waiting to die' is equivalent to 'Life is waiting to dry'. Therefore, the art of politics could be said to be the art of living to fight and dry, another day. In this sense, then, harking back to Heidegger may bear sweet fruit for this current screed.

Two of his major determinants of Dasein, or 'being human', are CARE and living in the NOW, by always using the Zukunft, the FUTURE, to guide one. A good boy scout is ALWAYS prepared, which essentially means that each NOW is, in action and thought, all about consciously controlling the FUTURE---why do this? Why not let it BE?

I don't get it, yet derive uncanny enjoyment.  ¶ 7:09 PM
