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
It's nice to see the United States government agreeing to forgive $40 million in debt as part of the global assault on poverty.
The government is, however, hypocritical when you look at the recent revisions of the bankruptcy law. Foreign debt forgiveness is apparently good for the US economy, domestic debt forgiveness on the other hand. . .
I don't owe $40 million, that's true. But it would be nice to have my measely $15,000 forgiven.
