From July 7, 1967. The formal education of Julius “Groucho” Henry Marx ended at the age of 12, but to the completion of his life he was a voracious reader and a close thinker. His interview with Buckley demonstrated that age, he was 76 at the time, had not lessened the sharpness of his wits. Like many comics, he was fundamentally a serious man, with an eye for the incongruities of life. I will spare you the obvious reflections on the decline of our culture from this little time capsule, but will note that discussion, as opposed to dueling monologues, is definitely a lost art.
Thanks !!! Love those ! Keep them coming !!
Agree- he’s right on.
Sorry to post a this slightly unrelated article. But NSW Courts (the State where I live) have decide that the tens of thousands of fines which were issued to citizens who they claimed broke Covid lockdown rules were issued unlawfully and now the Services NSW must pay back the fines of those citizens who actually paid the fine. I heard that only 1/3 of fines were paid as the rest 2/3 refused. A just outcome I think. Hope there is more of this awakening.
