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
I have said that our invasion of Iraq was a bad idea, mainly because it was Saddam Hussein who kept the Sunnis and Shi'ites from killing each other in that country. Without him, the rival factions of Islam would be at each other's throat.
A Shi'ite shrine was severly damaged in Samarra, Iraq, the work of a Sunni bomb. Predictably, the crowd chanted anti-Isreal and anti-American slogans as they threw rocks at Sunni mosques.
Religion of Peace, my ass.
