"Mars ~ The Reality

'So this is where Elysium lies,
just north of Atlantis,
on the far side of Barsoom.'
~ Dian Ackerman

Mars glows like a burning ember embedded in the night,
and as a result it has long been linked
with the color red and the god of war,
an association made by Aristotle in the fourth century BC,
and before that by the Babylonians,
who named the planet after Nergal, a warrior god of death,
destruction, and disorder."

hapless at my chamber door, 'gently knocking, knock, knock, knocking,
Only this, and nothing more.' (the nightbat)

I am me,

Me what's mine,

What method
Suits me, what clothes I prefer
Worn. For surely, you know
Me well enough

To know,
I share all I have. I serve
With all my heart, my ardor's light.
My will's yours
If right you, too, serve.

What are years?
What dinner do you now serve?
For yes, my part,

The Ethicist
Clearing the Bar
By RANDY COHEN
The New York Times
August 7, 2005

"My neighborhood bar flouts the city's smoking ban, making me, a
nonsmoker, want to avoid the place. But I love this bar, and there
aren't many others close by with low prices and a good jukebox. I've
thought about making an anonymous complaint to the city, but I don't
want to burden a local business with a heavy fine. Should I stop
whining and just take my business elsewhere?
~ Kathryn Klencheski, Brooklyn

You should neither abandon the bar nor call the cops, at least not
immediately. Instead, say something to the bartender -- calmly,
tactfully, so you don't get yourself banned. You can pick up the phone
later if that conversation proves ineffective. It is not your
obligation to police the city's smoking ban, but you have the right to
complain if the place ignores a law intended to safeguard its customers
and employees.
