Que Sarah Sarah


With thanks to Ronni Bennett at Time Goes By where I first saw this video. It features Laurence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford University. The video clip runs 12:25, and I found it more than worth my time to view and ponder . . .





As the video so adroitly emphasizes, Sarah is not worth the risk. She's a Wildcard and we cannot afford this recklessness.
A Que Sera Sera attitude
just doesn't fit this serious time in history.
What will be will be just doesn't cut it.



Que Sera Sera
(sung by Doris Day -- YouTube video here)

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

    As we witty folks in Neurodramaville say, "Denial ain't just a river in Egypt."
    I know...so much hilarity in one workplace.
    I listened through this and totally agree, but those of other opinions bring up that "the right person appears at the right time." Kind of like a DeGaulle, Churchill kind of analogy. I myself am thinking of buying a lucky rabbit's foot if the decisions aren't being made on facts.
    Just as an extra though, am madly in lust with Laurence's voice.

    Citizen of Earth,
    Yes it was good and our hopes are good also.

    Distracted,
    Your stories of Neurodramaville crack me up, and make me cry, depending...
    Yeah, I hear those other opinions and perhaps will agree with that sentiment if Obama wins ;)
    I agree that Laurence's voice has that special quality, most definitely.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
