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 259!

In Gainesville, Georgia, a display of international flags is being moved indoors. The donated flags represent countries doing business in the Gainesville area or nations to which the students have connections, according to the PTA newsletter that appears on the high school's Web site.

Why are they doing this, you ask?

So as not to attract the attention of anti-immigration groups.

Good thing they don't know about the United Nations building in New York. They'd be really pissed off!
