| Bio: | You know, I could go on with random drivel here ... but the raw data is on the other side of these links:
Here's my poetry ...
Here's the other stuff ...
And here's a link to our brand-new business ...
Go ahead and give 'em a click ... you know you want to!
I do not feel obliged to believe that
the same God who has endowed us
with sense, reason, and intellect
has intended us to forgo their use.
- Galileo Galilei
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it,
or who said it, no matter if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense.
- Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha
Religion is regarded by the common people as true,
by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The world holds two classes of men --
intelligent men without religion,
and religious men without intelligence.
- Abu'l-Ala-Al-Ma'arri
(973-1057; Syrian poet)
When one person suffers from a delusion,
it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion,
it is called a religion.
- Robert M. Pirsig
Those who can make you believe absurdities
can make you commit atrocities.
- Voltaire
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic
is no more to the point than the fact
that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
- George Bernard Shaw
Since it is obviously inconceivable
that all religions can be right,
the most reasonable conclusion is
that they are all wrong.
- Christopher Hitchens
Reality is that which,
when you stop believing in it,
doesn't go away.
- Philip K. Dick
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice ...
and moderation in the pursuit of justice no virtue.
- Sen. Barry Goldwater
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb
voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
It takes all types to
fill the freeway!
- Johnny Carson
I can't think about that right now.
If I do, I'll go crazy.
I'll think about that tomorrow.
- Scarlett O'Hara
He who curbs his own thought,
to please a majority;
has already lost his mental liberty.
- Ragnar Redbeard
INTP - "Architect".
Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood.
