Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity than straigthforward and simple integrity in another. A knave would rather quarrel with a brother knave than with a fool, but he would rather avoid a quarrel with one honest man than with both. He can combat a fool by management and address, and he can conquer a knave by temptations. But the honest man is neither to be bamboozled nor bribed.

Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence.

It is in the battery shed that we find the parallel with Auschwitz....To shut your mind, heart and imagination from the sufferings of others is to begin slowly, but inexorably, to die. Those Christians who close their minds and hearts to the cause of animal welfare, and the evils it seeks to combat, are ignoring the Fundamental spiritual teachings of Christ himself.

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.

The US constitution's First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with - more speech and debate, not censorship.

Murphy's Laws of Combat
When in doubt, empty your magazine.
Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
If your attack is going well, then it's an ambush.
Try to look uninportant because the bad guys may be low on ammo.
The enemy diversion you are ignoring, is the main attack.
The easy way is always mined.
Friendly fire - isn't.
If the enemy is in range - SO ARE YOU.
Things that must be together to work, usually aren't shipped together.
Tracers work both ways.
The only thing more accurate than incoming fire is incoming friendly fire.
Make it tough for the enemy to get in, and you can't get out.
Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs.
Murphy was a grunt.
