A public can only arrive at enlightenment slowly. Through revolution, the abandonment of personal despotism may be engendered and the end of profit-seeking and domineering oppression may occur, but never a true reform of the state of mind. Instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones, will serve as the guiding reins of the great, unthinking mass.

Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It is that we have only known the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If...

happy birthday!!
'Tis said that courage is common, but the immense esteem in which it is held proves it to be rare. Animal resistance, the instinct of the male animal when cornered, is no doubt common; but the pure article, courage with eyes, courage with conduct, self-possession at the cannon's mouth, cheerfulness in lonely adherence to the right, is the endowment of elevated characters.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the...

"Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us." Sir Winston Churchill

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personel safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and...

Yeah, I love snow, too, but considering I have to get up at 4AM now to work 11 hours, if I had to get up at 1:30 AM to shovel the driveway and allow an hour and a half to work, and then if it was still snow-covered get home at 8PM, I would not be alive long.
That said, I'm not sure about sex WITH snow (except for a brunette I once knew whose name was 'Snow'), sex IN the snow is actually great. In a big drift, once you're in there it warms up and hollows out and you can actually sweat.
I guess it's the same kind of principle that make igloos habitable. Body heat warms the interior which is insulated by the snow, which is formed via the very cold from which we need protection. Great paradox, that.
Although, since cold does not exist, per se, I suppose it's 'absence of heat' we try to avoid, but that's too double negativy to sound right.

Oh yeah, and thanks for your service. 
I have 3 nephews serving in or having served in the current War, one of whom comes home and I get to see in May.
Back in 1982 I was solicitd for officer training in the Navy, but failed the physical for a double inguinal hernia. Which, btwm has had litttle effect on my life. I've wrestled, done many crazyass stunts, lift whatever I can, etc. It's all in HOW I do stuff, so I could have done just fine in the Navy.
My grandfather was born with the same hernia and died at 86 or so without ever having surgery. He DID serve in the Navy (WWI) and was a machinist and inventor by trade and worked with heavy stuff all his life, too. He made a truss for his hernia out of a girdle and some steel ball bearings. I guess aside from the hernia (thanks Grandpop . . .) I also ingerited my McGuyver instincts.
Often wonder where I'd be now in my life had I not been turned down by the Navy.
Oh well, c'est la Vie.

The mass is idiotic. No two ways about it.
Hope all is well.
