Shakespeare In Doubt

For those of you who would care (bound to be someone out there) I have been added to the list of official signatories of an online petition that challenges the authenticity of ascribing the works of William Shakespeare to William Shakespeare.

To see my official listing on the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition check here to find my name amidst academicians and such way more suited to have an opinion on the topic like noted actors Jeremy Irons and Michael York.

Not that I begrudge the fellow his due, I just agree with those who question whether there has been real scholarship that properly attributes just about anything of merit that was published in Elizabethan England to one man. I'd like to think there were a few more working poets and dramatists at the time.

Poetry is just a shroud to dress up sick perversions and empty existences.

I at least do not play at anonymous, or visit 35 times in 4 days what I call empty or perverse.

Oh....my anonymous , are you a man or a woman? My guess is a man in that you have to find a blame and label for what is probably your own shallow, pornographically restricted psyche. Women especially but neither are men, objects. If we have the emotional intelligence to use our imaginations, and then the confidence to express it to others our existences are never empty.....Filling up on garbage and learning to like only it, limits the flavors that can be tasted by your own palate but possibly likened to caviar! Savour your own Big Mac.....because to someone else it may just be a slice of bologna!!!! Touche.... you have to beat down a visionary....to raise above your own insecurity and undeveolped passion for life? Choose something different.....your far out of your league!

I recently removed a posted comment on this blog entry.

I am tolerant of people, even anonymous ones, who have issue with me or my works, but to use my blog as a place to make vulgar and personal attacks on others is just unacceptable, cowardly and, yes, perverse.
