I think the greatest comedians ever are time and history.

Why do I�say this?

Because I am considering voting for McCain/Palin this election year.� AFTER I was long firmly for Obama, and had even donated to his campaign.�

Isnapos;t it strange how time turns us all into the opposites of our former selves, to one degree or another?� How we vow in childhood never to become like our parents and then one day look in the mirror and see a distinct resemblance?

Studying history also provides a great deal of comedy.� Someone once said that we learn from history that nobody ever learns anything from history.� Another said that there is nothing new under the sun.� Things recur.� Patterns emerge.� Ironies abound.�

I find it amusing, to say the least, that in the culture of ancient Egypt there were many similarities to our own day.� They had a complex tax system.� There were complicated systems of credit worked out, even though they traded in commodities rather than coinage.� They had a system of justice which was impartial to all.� At least in theory.� The similarities were interesting because they seemed fairly modern, and yet this was taking place in Ancient Egypt, thousands of years before Christ.�

History has countless examples of these shifts, turnarounds, and reversals.� History has a superb sense of irony, it seems.�

Iapos;m not entirely sure who Iapos;ll vote for this November, but now Iapos;m not sure anymore.�
