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
Fortress Amerika - Day Ten!
The Media loves you and is interested only in telling the truth.
Riiiiight!
Last Friday, a fisherman caught what was reported by the media as an invasive snakehead fish. Naturally people got all worked up.
Yesterday, the fish was identified as an American eel.
Damn!
Well, there's always the bird flu epidemic, which has killed 30 people in Indonesia in three years!
