My tentacles are coming out of the pigeonhole in all directions.

Jim Greenfield’s The Taxman Cometh will undoubtedly put a smile on the face of even the most dedicated big government freeloader.

Many years ago Rudyard Kipling gave an address at McGill University in Montreal. He said one striking thing which deserves to be remembered.

Atheism Explained is a gem. It is clear, informative, well-argued, provocative, often witty, and unfailingly interesting.

To throw in a fair game at Hazards only three-spots, when something great is at stake, or some business is the hazard, is a natural occurrence and deserves to be so deemed; and even when they come up the same way for a second time if the throw be repeated.

One path I've used a lot is to deeply and thoughtfully consider a trope or a tradition, and then set about taking it apart - but only in the service of a character or story that deserves it.

Celebration of the Human Voice--- When it is genuine, when it is born of the need to speak, no one can stop the human voice.

I believe that Communism is necessary to the world, and I believe that the heroism of Russia has fired men's hopes in a way which was essential to the realization of Communism in the future.

I once heard a spiritual man say that he was not so much astonished at the things done by a soul in mortal sin as at the things not done by it.
