     "Facile" is a confusing word.

facile  adj.
1. Done or achieved with little effort or difficulty; easy. See Synonyms at easy.
2. Working, acting, or speaking with effortless ease and fluency.
3. Arrived at without due care, effort, or examination; superficial: proposed a facile solution to a complex problem.
4. Readily manifested, together with an aura of insincerity and lack of depth: a facile slogan devised by politicians.
5. Archaic Pleasingly mild, as in disposition or manner.

Facile in French just means "easy." In English, I usually think of it with the negative connotations of defs 3 and 4. But 2 is positive, and 1 is positive to neutral.

If a person is "facile," does s/he work, act, or speak with effortless ease and fluency? Or is s/he lazy, shallow, and insincere?

I tend to think of the latter. but the former is almost the opposite ...

A re-pete I think: my current favorite song of all time   

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

Truman and Rich, they played it this afternoon on the roof at what used to be 6 Feet Under.   

Jess, Truman, Rich, RouxB, Lynne, Rich again, and all, hope you're having a wonderful evening...

Hiya!

I've decided that if I have to be sick, everyone has to be sick, so I'm spreading my germs around!

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
-- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
