Perils everywhere

Don't do anything. No matter what you intend, there are perils. We should live forever in status quo. there are too many who depend on this. Policy and energy experts for instance. Bringing the Canadian oil via the pipeline will increase the environmental damaging supply. Diminishing dependence of Arab oil will destabilize. Scare everybody so the moment would and these minor Fausts can keep their sinecures.

New York high life contagion- bought stock, built expensive building.This is a despicable decision. The best school in NYC is destroyed. It was the best because it had the best students not the best faculty. Now with tuition, will the best apply? It will not be the same. A jewel that is losing its value.

Modernity angel at the library.

Went to see La La at the circus (now at Morgan Library). Got a little lost at the entrance and climbed some stairs and got to see the Degas painting of the black angel climbing to the circus vault  in a painting slashed by a vertical line.  An angel with no visible face, hanging by her teeth. Seems that in her real Fernando Circus  performances she was carrying a canon from these teeth??
 Leaving the room, went to take  the elevator and found myself in the air in the extraordinary space with  glass above, below and in front of me, sparkling in the sun. For a couple of seconds I felt I was myself an angel.
