Whatever. Get back when you are done with the Athenian Constitution.
Have you finished C. Northcote Parkinson's "Evolution of Political Thought"...? (Or have you resigned yourself to a niggardly existence...:) I'll forgive your churlish presumption that you're my "instructor" and continue to cast my pearls before your swinish rooting inattention.
You've prompted me to loose upon the (wee though it be) world a little poem I wrote yesterday:
The serendipitous coincidence
never fazes me; I take it in stride,
as they say. (Knowing where you're going, lied
the sage, won't make your step quicker...) But sense
says Yes, it will; and longer too! You can
stop and smell more roses if your pace is
brisk; enjoy the scenery, the faces;
your own thoughts! Since you've known since it began
your journey's end, not interruption nor
detour matters much: You'll get where -soon or
late- you're going.
Not to hie when life is
short is folly. But not to take pleasure
'long the way is waste! Trinkets and treasure
abound, despite how oft' this world is strife...

Your footnote is intriguing evidence of you superficiality and penchant for "motivated" reasoning... So: "Luc-y! Let me 'splain you something..."
While I understand that most people can't not look at a car wreck, I'm not one of them! I've watched a lot of the footage from that day; read many accounts, and various screeds, purporting to place blame and 'scribe consequence. I've no interest in joining the consistory...:) Suffice to say: 'Tweren't no insurrection! (It was -compared to the summer's BLM and antifa-inspired mayhem hardly a kerfuffle!) Were it not for the preening self-important at the periphery of the events, you nor I wouldn't have heard about it.
When someone from the commentariat gets their panties in a twist, I simply smile my seeming commiseration; thinking: "Fools rush in...".
Do you need more? Or are you incapable of understanding my plain English? :)
