Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Quote
“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

Be a wookie?

No online fame for empowering his daughter, that way.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

To be fairt, it was probably much cheaper than the wookie costume.  I'm pretty much always pushing the cheapest costume option on my kids and wife.

Some, funny jokes for you guys.

Lindsey: Mark, why is it that you get into more trouble than anyone else in the family?

Mark: I guess it's because I get up first.

 

Tyler: Did you know that an elephant never forgets

Mark: Big deal! What does he got to remember?

 

William: Why are you staring at the mirror with your eyes shut?

Mark: I wanna see what I look like when I'm asleep.

 

Hilary: Which is further, New York City or the Moon?

Mark: New York City.

Hilary: Why do you say that?

Mark: I can see the moon, but I can't see New York City.

 

Mark: Why do they call that animal a rhinoceros?

Mike: I don't know.

Mark: Because it looks like a rhinoceros.

Now drop your shield, perfect.
