fungle jungle: Running up the score

Friday, January 23, 2009

I have seen some boys high school JV games almost this bad. I'm glad to see that somebody called them on it. Covenant should, at the very least, have a long talk with the coach for continuing to run a press unnecessarily. The 3-pointers don't bother me so much.

The industrialization of agriculture is stopping up the source of decency in the world. -- Don Colacho

Gloria: Do you know that sixty percent of all deaths in America are caused by guns?
Archie Bunker: Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?

This is the way an opinion gains acceptance in France. Fifty ignoramuses repeat in chorus some absurd libel that has been thought up by an even bigger ignoramus; and, if only it happens to coincide to some slight degree with prevailing attitudes and passions, it becomes a self-evident truth -- Frederic Bastiat

In practice, the goal of skepticism is not the discovery of truth, but the exposure of other people's errors. It plays a useful role in science, religion, scholarship, and common sense. But we need to remember that it is a weapon serving belief or self-interest; we need to be skeptical of skeptics. The more militant the skeptic, the stronger the belief. -- Rupert Sheldrake

[W]e as a people are not to be ruled and not to be commanded...the president should never forget this; that he has not risen above us, but is merely one of us, chosen by ballot, dismissed after his term, tasked not to transform and work his will upon us, but to bear the weight of decision and to carry out faithfully the design laid down in the Constitution and impassioned by the Declaration of Independence. -- Congressman Mike Pence, Hillsdale College address

It was a war of words and speaking just as much as a war of iron and blood. If the fighting was sometimes noble and brave, it was because certain words were in the minds of men. If the fighting was sometimes stupid and vicious, it was because certain other words were in the minds of men. Whatever else Churchill may have been doing in those days, he was always providing the English with words. -- Robert Mitchell, Less Than Words Can Say
