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
While I support the walk outs to protest the immigration bills floating around Capitol Hill, I do have one question: Why is it okay for the protesters to wave a Mexican flag as a show of the heritage?
Does that mean I can get out the stars and bars to celebrate my heritage? I have ancestors who fought in the Confederate army. I also have ancestors who fought in the Union army.
