Sometimes google takes a lot of time and throws up lot of interesting but irrelevent (to the specific issue). But one have a vague memory of something (for example a song that I heard 50 years ago, or a book that i do not have a copy now) and an enquiry in a site or a blog brings quick results.

Hawsers to reality soon fray and they float off , drifting zeppelins of inanity."<BR/><BR/>Link: http://www.counterpunch.com/cockburn06192006.html<BR/><BR/>He is spot on mostly, IMHO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
