The Pen maybe mightier than the sword
but
Is the iPod mightier than the Klashnakov?

I thought most paradigms these days had automatic transmissions ?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

That is a fashion statement somewhere.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

theres a stereotype in that somewhere....  but to point it out would get me labeled a racist.

What paradigm shift?  She(?) has a status symbol in her lip, and one in each hand.  Same old paradigm as always.

If the disk is made from Kevlar or Dragonskin then I could see it's usefulness..... Otherwise I just think of this e-mail I got awhile back:

Quote
Repeat after me.......

I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid
I will never complain about my kid

This could have been your kid.......



Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Myself
