Quotes for the day.

I went to a new store today for a soda. A very elderly couple run it, on
Raymond just off University down from the Keys. The man said my Dr. Pepper

blue eyes.

This is very much apropos 'humanity' fervor as well,
and pacifism, whichis introverted murderous zeal.

While the pacifists are the first ones to attack non-pacifists.
After all, energetic attacks are so much cleaner and more civilized.
Just ask the Dalai Lama.

> There ought to be limits to freedom.
