Random quote of the day:

“Language is only the instrument of science, and words are but the signs of ideas: I wish, however, that the instrument might be less apt to decay, and that signs might be permanent, like the things they denote.”

Living in their own private Arizona

This kind of vandalism makes me sick to my stomach.

This is an embodiment of the whole “if it happened before I was born it doesn’t matter” philosophy. Of the “I’m more important, pay attention to ME!” pride-in-ignorance that a growing number of people in this country seem to have adopted as a personal philosophy.

You know, really, it’s beyond ignorance. It’s a willful destruction of humanity’s collective treasure, tantamount to the Taliban dynamiting the statues of Buddha.

“If I can’t create,” this vandal seems to be saying, “I will destroy what others have created. If I don’t understand, I’ll make sure no one else understands, either.”
