"There was a time, Bob, when concepts like decency and honor meant something, a time when, had an officer (British, of course) shamed himself as you have, he would have taken his Webley revolver and a single cartridge into the next room and done the right thing. But those times are long past, Bob, and what do you know of decency and honor?" [Read more...]
"Human lives are like paintings by Vincent van Gogh. Each and every one is absolutely unique -- more unique, if possible (grammatically, it's not supposed to be) than even the finest, rarest work of art." [Read more...]

I've read "Men without Chests" ... by C. S. Lewis, also author of the Narnia books, etc. Part of what he wrote makes sense,
I am not a terribly deep thinker. But I think he's writing about a lack of values (the ZAP? maybe not) and the effects of not teaching kids ethics -- something about Magnamimity-Sentiment.

I suspect the concern that Chinese on the moon are going to end up throwing rocks at Americans a'la Heinlein is a bit overblown. The American government remains capable of annihilating everyone on Earth many times over, including the Chinese, rocks or no rocks.

Dear Editor: It's been said that whenever a right is being attacked, the attackers generally start (at first) by focusing on that particular right's least attractive practitioners. I've recently come to realize that the opposite is also true. Whenever someone wishes to promote a particular injustice, they will start by focusing both on that injustice's MOST attractive beneficiaries, and least attractive victims. Which includes such tactics as showing (as a reason why the victim is unattractive, and therefore 'deserves' the injustice), traits the victim possesses which are actually a RESULT of the injustice, but which are used as a post facto 'justification' as to why the victim deserved the injustice in the first place.
