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

Secede? Because Your Guy Lost?

Really? Because your guy lost the election, you want to secede? You want all the Army bases in your state abandoned and the civilian employees terminated? You don't want Federal funds to maintain your roads and schools? You don't want Coast Guard services (for those states with coasts)? You don't want the Border Patrol at the Mexican border (for those states along the border)?

Okay. Go right ahead.
