In the Dark with You

People are in the dark, they don't know what to do
I had a little lantern, oh but it got blown out too.
I'm reaching out my hand. I hope you are too.
I just want to be in the dark with you.

-- Greg Brown, In the Dark with You

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Social Democrats,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Social Democrat.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew,
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
- Pastor Martin Niemoller

The Utter Truth of It

In mathematics you don't understand things.
You just get used to them.

Please understand this my dear brain, please understand it!!!

"The Queen" Wins

So who won the Nevada caucus? I sure don't know, and I don't think anyone else really does either.

I find it interesting, and very appropriate, as to how one precinct decided to split its delegates between Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. It all came down to a 10 of Spades and the Queen of Hearts.

There was a tie in the vote, 48 for Obama and 48 for Clinton. What do they do? There are 5 delegates, and everyone knows, people don't like to be split in half!! Well, they're in North Las Vegas, Nevada, so what do you think they do? They pull out the deck of cards!! Shuffling occurs, the Clinton supporter pulls a 10 of Spades, the Obama supporter pulls the Queen of Hearts, and it's over. Clinton gets the third delegate!

Haha! Who said politics wasn't just some big game, lasting way longer than any round of Monopoly?

Alas! what have we been doing with ourselves then!! Though, it really is true to a certain extent. Keep filling, faster, keep filling!

The Secret of Life?

The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.
