2020: Eric Holder Announces He Won’t Run for President http://bit.ly/2IQr5p8 via @BreitbartNews
I have struggled with HRC-as-Alice until I stated comparing Alice to Dorothy. Dorothy is looking for a way out, a way home. Alice is in no hurry but seeks to impose her judgement and morals of those in a land whose rules are foreign to her. HRC seeing herself as a victim of circumstance is a hard sell. But as a bell-bottomed 70's hippy she discovers how to gain influence and compromises herself up the chain of power until she is trapped by her own bad decisions. No deals.
good morning @trusty rusty ✌
My Turn: In Through the Looking-Glass, the White Queen offers Alice
a job as her “ lady ’ s - maid, ”with a compensation package of
“ twopence a week, and jam every other day. ”Alice protests
that she doesn ’ t care for jam, and in any case doesn ’ t want any
jam today. The Queen clarifi es, “ You couldn ’ t have it if you did
want it. The rule is, jam to - morrow and jam yesterday — but
never jam to - day. ”Alice, of course, is puzzled by this (though
apparently not at the prospect of the job offer itself ), arguing
that “ it must come sometimes to ‘ jam to - day. ’
In unrelated news....

Alice laughed. “ There ’ s no use trying, ”she said: “ one
can ’ t believe impossible things. ”
“ I daresay you haven ’ t had much practice, ”said the
Queen. “ When I was your age, I always did it for half -
an - hour a day. Why, sometimes I ’ ve believed as many
as six impossible things before breakfast. ”

“ But I don ’ t want to go among mad people, ”Alice
remarked.
“ Oh, you can ’ t help that, ”said the Cat: “ we ’ re all
mad here. I ’ m mad. You ’ re mad. ”
“ How do you know I ’ m mad? ” said Alice.
“ You must be, ”said the Cat, “ or you wouldn ’ t have
come here. ”

“ Off with her head! ”the Queen shouted at the top of
her voice. Nobody moved.
“ Who cares for you? ”said Alice, (she had grown to
her full size by this time.) “ You ’ re nothing but a pack
of cards! ”
hola
Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions
over the country — and a most curious country it was . . .
It ’ s marked out in all directions like a chessboard. . .
“ It ’ s a great huge game of chess that ’ s being
played — all over the world. ”
In a free society like ours, you basically have three choices.
You can leave. You can try to change the laws. Or you can do
neither and implicitly agree to obey the laws. That ’ s a social
contract.
This idea goes all the way back to the trial of Socrates
(469 – 399 bce) in ancient Athens. 2
Despite thinking that the
jury was against him before the trial began, Socrates accepted
the guilty verdict — on the charge of corrupting the youth —
and its terrible penalty: death. But why so? Because he agreed
to live by their rules even without explicitly saying so. He was
born there, raised there, educated there, and protected there.
He even fought in the army defending Athens. He never left
and he never tried to change the laws. In short, Socrates made
a social contract with Athens — an implicit agreement to follow
their laws no matter what the outcome.
But this doesn ’ t apply to Alice. She wasn ’ t born in
Wonderland; she wasn ’ t raised there or educated there. And
she ’ s not an immigrant who moves in willingly — she literally
fell into the place! Of the three options in a free society (leave,
change things, or implicitly agree to obey), Alice is desperately
trying to leave. She does not have an implicit agreement to
obey, so she doesn ’ t have a social contract. She has every right
to use violence against the court.
Lewis Carroll would have known about the trial and death
of Socrates. He was a classically educated Englishman.
last point and then I'm off to the matrix... it has been intimated that Lewis Carroll had a thing for young girls and Alice is a fantasy about a real girl... and much as been said to prove as much... does this put our Alice as victim herself to gropy old men? to what extent does the shield of "but I was abused too" extend to the abuser in the cycle, if at all? redemption involves coming clean and admitting all the wrongs and then paying penance to make it right as much as is possible and then a where necessary a punitive measure is heaped on...and the final step is to forego that sin. I don't see much sorrow (yet) in our Alice. that could rapidly change, but don't expect it to.
