A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
As the Western world rushes in to help the victims of the tsunami in the Indian ocean, I wonder if that will help us in the war on terror.
Nope.
A hardline Islamic group has protested the presence of Australian aid workers, suggesting that Australia would like to turn the Aceh region into another East Timor.
While I'm not completely familiar with the East Timor reference, I wonder why Saudi Arabia hasn't pledged billions of dollars.
