slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Minnie T Mouse and C Rich had a rather pleasant conversation on Shakespeare. I had to laugh, for Minnie's mention of "to be, or not to be" (to finish the line, "that is the question"), brought back the soliloquy I was required to memorize in high school. (Actually, I had to learn the who play.) The words come in really handy!
"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or by opposing end them," were the words that naturally, silently followed.
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... That's as good a description as any, of the current political shenanigans in Washington.
Is it nobler in the mind to suffer them, or by opposing, end them? No, I'd say that suffering the foolishness isn't very nobel.
Or by opposing, end them? Yes! Of course.The next thing to suggest, I suppose, is, "Get thee to a nunnery!" I know, I know, that comes after Hamlet's death talk, as I recall, wrong context. But still, I'd like to suggest it.
-aloha!
