Socrates on Virtue
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good [...]

Adjust Your Bookmarks
After 2-1/2 years, 1,582 posts, about 770 15,400 comments and 401,800 hits, I’ve decided that it’s time to change the name of my blog.

This Week’s Sign of the Impending Apocalypse (#129)
If you’re like ME, when you think about the pressing political issues of this day, you immediately turn you attention to the objects that drivers attach to the tail hitch of their pickup trucks.
In Florida, they’re doing something about it: Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from [...]
