You have to lose your mind to come to your senses.

We didn’t start the fire but we sure know how to fuel it. I believe there is much money to be made on both sides by fueling a culture war. Money is not the root of all evil. That would be love of money. :-/

I wonder sometimes at what point in our lives we go from doing one thing and saying another (usually because our parents caught us and didn’t approve) to saying one thing and doing another. I really hope (although deep down I know it’s true) that it’s not just another symptom of becoming an adult. Is it wrong to have more respect for the former?

The difference between the past and the future is the present.

And I think what one does with the present is what makes most if not all of the difference.

Or, to put it another way, the past and the future would be pretty much the same without the present. 🙂

Our ability to see patterns is both a blessing and a curse.

The key to longevity just might be remembering how bad the things that made you feel good can be while forgetting the good things that made you feel bad. 🙂

This babble is a work in progress….

…why opposites attract? Shouldn’t they distract? 🙂

There is a thin line between the states of being morally happy and being happily immoral.

The line gets somewhat thicker between the states of being happily moral and morally unhappy. 🙂

Nothing is as important in the lesser scheme of things as that which seems important in the greater scheme of things. —R-U.S.

Scientific-minded folks test the faith of the religious-minded almost the same as religious-minded folk test the faith of the scientific-minded. Conclusion: As long as faith can be eternally tested, it’s all good.

Why is informed debate becoming more difficult with each passing day? With apologies to Chas Freeman, it would be nice to be able to tell you the answer to this question. (I think G*d may once have confided it to me, but I was reading emails and didn’t quite catch what She said.)

… anything is possible!

I would rather have high friends in low places than vice versa. –R-U.S.

… and that’s the truth.
