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
This family risked their lives to vote in Iraq's first elections. Insurgents in that country shot voters and triggered car bombs to intimidate voters. The insurgents were wasting their time.
You won't vote because it might cut into your lunch hour. How screwed up is that?
