Quote of the day

[PaulG]

Came across this in an article of the Toronto Sun (a "conservative" tabloid  )


To paraphrase ....

...pacifists generally don't write the history books... because they're dead.


I just thought it would make a great T-shirt or bumper sticker for the top-case.  The article itself just talks about our (Canadian) role in bombining the shit out of ISIL in Iraq. No offence to all the pacifists who will take offence to this statement.  Wonder if I could trademark that?

"The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing" - Frank Zappa

Describing his philosophical views, Zappa stated, "I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a 'temporary license to exist'—in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government—it doesn't own you."

Incredidble.  I think those other great orators of our time, The Beastie Boys, also said something similar... You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party!

Yes, Zappa was and still is in my top list of artsists.  In 200 yrs they will still be playing his musice, whilst all otheres will be in the dust-bin of history.  Somebody should publish a book on all the great stuff he said - wait - somebody else already did...

And Zappa appropriated the entire concept from Friedrich Nietzsche...  the penultimate existentialist.
