This is the hallmark of a robust biological system: political parties can perish in a tragic accident and the society will still run, sometimes with little more than a hiccup to the system. it may be that for every strange clinical case in which brain damage leads to a bizarre change in behavior or perception, there are hundreds of cases in which parts of the brain are damaged with no detectable clinical sign.

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. it can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.

Running Party Men
I tour alone. there's no sound check, no back up. i stay with the hosts i am in a family home and it's really nourishing. i just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. every day, it's a new relationship being built. it's odd and wonderful.
