"Alice's Restaurant"

                         Few of my Present Day Readers are familiar with the Hippie Flick "Alice's Restaurant" ["You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant {'ceptin' Alice} .   The protagonist, Arlo Guthrie , has to serve Time clearing a dump space and he is reassigned to use what he calls "implements of destruction" none other that rake, hoe, shovel et cetera .   Most of us recognize farm and garden TOOLS thereby making this equation ,  Implements of Destruction = farm and garden TOOLS .   I MUST juxtapose "Arrival" 's use of the term "Weapon" , the term applied by the Aliens to their LANGUAGE .   What's-her-name is quick to COUNTER the understanding of  >Weapon< with TOOL , thereby diminishing[rather severely] the ominous nature of Weapon .  You can read my intent .   Not only is Sword a "Weapon" {an Implement of [wartime] Destruction but it is also a TOOL with which Reality can be manipulated .   Sword MUST-BE understood to incorporate BOTH meanings .  Here it is where 'prevailing circumstances' dictate its manifestation .

            Now should you ask yourself, "Is Arlo Guthrie Jesus the Christ ? "   One word : Don't bother .
