random thought of the moment:
It’s incredible how long science has succeeded in keeping men’s minds off their fundamental unhappiness and its own very limited power to remedy their fundamental unhappiness. One marvel follows another—electric light, phonograph, motor car, telephone, radio, airplane, television. It’s a curious list, and very pathetic. The soul of man is crying for hope of purpose or meaning; and the scientist says, ‘Here is a telephone’ or ‘Look, television!’—exactly as one tries to distract a baby crying for its mother by offering it sugar-sticks and making funny faces.

Ron Paul: Compassionless Conservative?
Here’s proof that I don’t blindly agree with every word spoken or decision made by Ron Paul. Recently, the House of Representatives passed HR 1181 (“Expressing condolences and sympathy to the people of Burma for the grave loss of life and vast destruction caused by Cyclone Nargis.”) 410-1. Guess who the “1” was. That he […]
The Hyperventilating Left
Not that long ago, it was the right that was angry and the left that was, at least comparatively, polite.
Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha…
*whew* I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Since when has the Left ever been polite?!? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not patting the Right on the back here. In case […]
