No Signal? Just Noise?

Got Your Ears On?

The song "no signal, just noise" uses the word "misanthrope".

Dredd Blog must point out that "misanthrope is as misanthrope does".

As in:

"It is in the shelter of each other that the people live." - Irish Proverb [e.g. "where humans do not shelter each other, the people will not live" - Dredd]

“One would say that [man] is destined to exterminate himself after having rendered the globe uninhabitable.” - Lamarck (1817) ["don't render the globe unihabitable" - Dredd]

“The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson ["don't be too civilized" - Dredd]

"It is forbidden to kill therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." -Voltaire ["don't support war and other forms of mass-murder" - Dredd]

"History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history." - Clarence Darrow ["don't enjoy the continuance of bad choices" - Dredd]

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti ["stay healthy by not repeating bad choices" - Dredd]

"In other words, a society does not ever die 'from natural causes', but always dies from suicide or murder --- and nearly always from the former, as this chapter has shown." - A Study of History, by Arnold J. Toynbee ["stop self dying, perpetuate all living" - Dredd]

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison ["stop making enemies, foreign and domestic" - Dredd]

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson ["reject ignorance, embrace wisdom" - Dredd]

“Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” – Friedrich Nietzsche; "I would not say that such an attempt to apply psychoanalysis to civilized society would be fanciful or doomed to fruitlessness." - Sigmund Freud ["leave individuals alone, psychoanalyze groups" - Dredd]

"And stuff like that, Wally" - The Beaver Cleaver
