.... On the other hand, in Oedipus the King, Tiresias skirts around telling Oedipus the truth.

.... it becomes necessary to disassociate from the ties that bind us and keep us from true liberty. Now I don't wanna get off on a rant here, but it seems to me that when the local militia group has Uzi's, and tanks and all Deputy Bob has is a hangover from last nights eight hour long Happy hour at the Hoo Doo, and when he finally comes to and searches my house because he's still a little groggy and is confusing me with the “Rebels of The State of Idaho Brigand” and he finds my guns and I get arrested while the people I was guarding my liberty from goes off and .....
