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
Harry Patch fought in the Battle of Passchendaele when he was 19. That was in WWI. Today, Mr. Patch is 109, and is Britain's last surviving WWI survivor. Last week, he visited the battlefield in Belgium. Mr. Patch, I salute you.
