Life in the Banana Patch

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 205!

Since everyone knows that criminals are crossing our Southern border, the Minutemen, the unarmed National Guard, the Border Patrol and various and sundry pure blooded Americans have formed a line to turn the crooks back! And, since we all know that Americans are Pure of Heart, the news out of El Paso is especially shocking! Ten enforcement agents from the Border Patrol, Customs and the INS have been arrested for taking bribes from Drug dealers and other smugglers.

Say it ain't so! We got a big fence! We have web cams scanning the Texas border! Americans are heroes, dammit!
