In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Scary indeed. But why on earth are people so willing to e-mail/digitally store nude photos of themselves? People need to understand that if your computer is hooked up to a network, every bit of info you have on it is vulnerable.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Oh man - this is not at all what I thought this thread was going to be about!
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Hard not to hope for more of a contortionist angle rather than extortionist. Journalists always chase the wrong stories.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?
