You will not find it in the USA, because Mead Johnson was Paid to keep it out of the USA, by the other Baby food Companies, as they had about 80% of the market. If you see a can it will say it is a licence product. You can buy Pablum anywhere in Canada, it is now made by H.J.Heinz.

]]> Comment on when warriors refuse to fight by david miller http://bkmarcus.com/blog/2010/01/when-warriors-refuse-to-fight/comment-page-1#comment-98330 david miller Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:09:46 +0000 http://bkmarcus.com/blog/?p=1314#comment-98330 Thanks for the quotes. The comparison seems apt to me. I haven't read Ms. Alexander's book, but I have read Homer's and I think what he's doing is showing us that Achilles has no reason to stay. He came for glory, but Aggamemnon is leaching all the honor from this war against the Trojans. Achilles returns to the fight for vengeance. His motivations don't seem particularly modern or liberal (where liberal= american political left in the 1960s). He is a man who has reasons for being at war and Homer makes it clear in this speech at the beginning of the story that support of Agamemnon is not among his list of reasons to fight. This seems directly analogous to Ali - not a liberal from the 1960's; well acquainted with violence and its uses; radically opposed to war for the aggrandizement of the Hegemon. It is important that these great warriors can articulate the code by which they decide to fight. And I believe that Homer is asserting that the greatest warriors are the ones who have a deep understanding of why they are at war and what they are fighting for. Thanks for the quotes.

However, be careful about slipping it into casual conversation. We're out there and we're listening and lurking. Why yes, I am a Freemason in case you didn't know. But then again, I can hear you saying, "It doesn't surprise me in the least". lol. I had no idea that it had a second meaning also. However, be careful about slipping it into casual conversation.

Parthia being the tail that stings is very interesting .. Bar - Ber in my name can be either Hebrew - grain - barley - barn or Aramaic Chaldean - son - condition. It is definitely German / Kerman from Southern Parthia.
