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.

Today was a perfect day for my Irish hat. It was raining hard enough to be annoying but not hardly enough to merit the use of an umbrella. With the hat I stayed nice and dry and toasty. Everyone else either got their head wet or had to walk around with an open umbrella. I really shouldn’t enjoy a hat that much.
One of my students that disappeared a few weeks ago reappeared in my Fundamentals class. I thought he had just stopped coming but he had been sick. He actually showed me the doctor’s note. He also said that he emailed me to let me know that he’d missed the test. My junk filter sent it to the junk folder, Or perhaps I did it myself. He seemed credible so I decided to let him take a make up test on Thursday. That does mean I’ll have to write one. Not a prospect that I relish. Or mustard for that matter.
Do I need to say for the thousandth time how much I hate it when Julius locks me out of my office? What makes it more maddening is that I think he goes out of his way to do it. He stays there till after I go to class just to lock it. I think he even makes special trips back to the office just to lock it when I’m out.
After school I dropped by the library to return the Hornblower book. Imagine my dismay when I found that the off hours return slot was locked. There was a note saying to check the slot hours. Yes you read that right, the off hours return slot isn’t open all the time. It is mainly open when the library is, in other words, when you don’t need it. The other time it is open is in the mornings before the library opens. The problem is, that it is a pain to park then. The only time you can park in front of the library is at night. Whose bright idea is this? Does anyone have an idea why they would lock the slot?
OK, now the moment you have all been waiting for the October issue of the Horvendile Inquirer.
