Last week someone mentioned a friend who had died last year. I couldn't remember the date, so I had to look up the fact that he had died on April; 15. Later I started thinking about what killed him, ad after thinking of the proximate cause, cancer. The one who mentioned him also mentioned that he was aware of a sore from a tumor several years ago.

I certainly did not support Obama, and I think that he made some major ...
Some years ago, people thought and worried about mediocrity taking over the world. That isn’t a worry any more, because inferiority is taking over. People act as if low quality and thoughtless behavior and expression are fine. Maybe it started with to movement to make all children feel good, so they all got trophies, and maybe some people think that equality should mean that no one can do a better job at anything than anyone else. Whatever started it and pushed it along, the election ...
