  • Every violin needs a bow to make beautiful music. John Hurt should have won an oscar for this performance.

  • I'm a descendant of Richard Rich :)

  • @TessaDior {2} correctly in the end, whatever our station in life. This is my philosophy on matters such as these & helps keep me of sane mind, although some have not judged that in accordance with my own thinking from time to time. Such is life & such is considered thinking me thinks. ☺ Tis a hazard of being human....if reincarnation is fact, which I think not, I would like to come back as a bird .FIN.

  • @TessaDior {1} Not even Wales ? Apologies, I toy with your comment. You are correct of course. Betrayal of a good man & true is not worthy of any Kingdom not even for a horse. The betrayal of a bad & evil man is worth what others deem fit to bestow on one that does, those comments are tempered by the caliber of the betrayer & those that judge him, needless to say. Such is the burden of humanity of those of us that are quick & indeed slow to judge that we all should aspire to judge....

  • @BigDon62 He did, but only after betraying a friend and honest man to a falsely justified execution. Nothing is worth that.

  • Ohhh that's so good. What a man!

  • @Madfoot713 if you think that anything that i wrote is evidence of being a "leftist nut" (instead of the relatively mainstream views that they are outside of Teabag or Paultard circles), then that only shows what a right-wingnut you are.

    perhaps you should go look for clips from "Triumph of the Will" or "Birth of a Nation" -- that's more your speed, i think.

  • @tsartodd Ugh, I look for a classic video and the first comment's from some leftist nut. What a bad day.

  • a simple and eloquent defense of the Rule of Law ... that nonetheless seems to elude libertarians, Republicans, Wall Street and all those who argue for more deregulation.

  • As I recall Richard gained Wales as his employment.
