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 80% of the British public believe Global Warming (Praise Gaia and her anointed prophets Al Gore and Tom Brokaw! Hah-men!) is a serious threat, half of that number are doing nothing to slow it. Apparently, they feel it is more important to own a plasma TV or take an overseas holiday than to sacrifice their way of life. In other words, you save the Earth, I'm watching the telly.
