Gotta keep the alien eye well fed. That means reading a lot. Movies and TV, unless they're documentaries, just don't cut it. The alien eye gets a better bang for its buck by purchasing used books. The latest one just arrived, The Lost Art of War. My alien eye was drawn to the back of the book, wherein were listed the Seven Destroyers. I thought, given the current lunacy over the debt limit, this week I'd list the destroyers and see if any of these behaviors observed in ancient China, c. 400 BCE, have any modern equivalence in contemporary politics surrounding this fake crisis.
