Quote For The Day
September 26, 2002
“We…make the modern error of dignifying the Individual. We do everything we can to butter him up. We give him a name, assure him that he has certain inalienable rights, educate him, let him pass on his name to his brats and when he dies we give him a special hole in the ground…But after all, he’s only a seed, a bloom and a withering stalk among pressing billions. Your Individual is a pretty disgusting, vain, lewd little bastard…By God, he has only one right guaranteed to him in Nature, and that is the right to die and stink to Heaven.
Ross Lockridge (1914-1948)
quoted in Short Lives, 1980
I think someone needs to attend a “Sound of Music” sing-along and do a few verses of “My Favorite Things.”

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Rank rotting corpses who aren’t worth a piddence…
