With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

This morning I remembered something that I forgot to write about yesterday. Guess what, I forgot it again. I have a feeling it was something whiny so it is perhaps better that I forgot it. I’m not feeling whiny tonight. I don’t know why but I’m feeling pretty good. I was upset that I’m spending the Fourth of July weekend alone. Hey I think that was what I wanted to write about. That I’m now finding all holidays depressing, not just New Year’s Eve. Should I be feeling good about remember something that depresses me? These emotion thingies are a hard thing to get a hold of. In any event I have no plans for the fourth and I’m not really happy about that. I used to always see the fireworks with bad Carey. That isn’t the kind of thing I like to do alone. It involved far too much time just standing around and waiting.
Today I helped my mother’s friend install Earthlink on her computer and free herself of AOHell. I get a free month from Earthlink for that. Not bad. Isn’t it time that you switched and said that I referred you?
I can once again walk on the floor in my room. I ended up throwing out a massive amount of papers and towels. Yes I said towels. The Knicks used to give small dish towels out at playoff games. I got rid of all of them but the one that was as large as a hand towel.
After throwing out the junk I put the boxes back in the closet. Finding good spots for the books will wait for another day. I think what I’m going to have to do is find someplace that will buy books. Then I’ll sell some old text books that I don’t really want and some books that have been lying around the house forever and that nobody takes credit for. Well some are my mother’s old textbooks. I don’t think we really need her old French books or my sister’s Cliff Notes from high school. Perhaps I’ll sell my collection of Scientific Americans. That would hurt but I have to admit that I never look at them. Then I’d have enough room for all my books. OK not all but more than I have room for now. I have lots of books.
Andrea started a thread on the FHDC forums titled Gordon. When I first saw it I got nervous. I didn’t know that she started it and I was afraid it was going to be something to the effect of “So does everyone find Gordon as annoying as I do?” The funny thing is that Carey had exactly the same reaction. There is a reason we are friends. Of course I still have this feeling that at FRFF all the Früheads are going to come after me screaming, “Kill the pig.”
On a total tangent that made me realize that Lord of the Flies would be a great nickname for Andruw (yes that is spelled right) Jones, the best defensive outfielder. There aren’t enough good nicknames around nowadays. The best are Big Unit For 6’10” Randy Johnson, and The Big Hurt for slugger Frank Thomas. Baseball writers need to hone their naming skills.
I don’t have anything to wrap this up into a nice little package. That’s when I usually start things like “quote of the day” or “poem of the day.” I did have a very evil thought. It’s a math problem that I couldn’t solve when I took number theory. No that’s too evil, It’s a nice problem, but it will make the heads of some people that I love explode. If you want to hear it email me and I’ll send it to you.
