The mainstreaming of tattoos (on main street) is a harbinger of social dysfunction.

The report by Japan Society of Energy and Resources (JSER) is astonishing rebuke to international pressure, and a vote of confidence in Japan’s native marine and astronomical research. Publicly-funded science in the West uniformly backs the hypothesis that industrial influence is primarily responsible for climate change, although fissures have appeared recently.

I once had a professor remark that he liked Aristotle more than Plato because Aristotle was a real, Joseph-Campbell-the-divine-is-within-all-of-us pagan, whereas Plato was one spiritual step from Augustine. Personally, Parmenides was my favorite because I’m fond of wandering two-headed, which is something we mortals do, but Socrates was the real man-eater.
