    (Corrected post from another thread with an attached article.)

    Theodore THINK, watch for the rocks...

    Bold words from an irritable Argentine zonda that's shed the matrimonial yoke. Admittedly I'm a cowardly lion tied to the land.

    (To steal the dialogue from a great movie)

    Raisuli the Magnificent: [telegram] To Theodore Roosevelt: You are like the Wind and I Like the Lion. You form the tempest, The sand stings my eyes and the ground is in parched. I roar in defiance but you do not hear. But between us there is a difference. I like the Lion must remain in my place, but you like the wind, will never know yours. [signed] Mulai Ahmed Mohammed el Raisuli the Magnificent, Lord of the Rif, Sultan to the Berbers.

    Madame DeFarge keeps me in my place, and you will never know yours..

    Raisuli the Magnificent also advised: Ignorance is a steep hill with perilous rocks at the bottom.

    (For those living below in their mother's basement I add an except from the same newspaper he posts his scandalous information. [Thankfully without Latin.])

    ”With social distancing imposed by the coronavirus, the brutal economic reversal has mainly affected informal and self-employed workers, bringing the risk of an explosion of poverty. According to the World Bank's accounts, without the protection measures implemented by the federal government, the total number of impoverished Brazilians could jump from 41.8 million in 2019 to 48.8 million (about 23% of the population) in 2020.”

    (The poor will far suffer more than those infected that have a small mortality rate.)
