possibly, probably, yes

seven blunders of the world

1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Business without ethics
5. Science without humanity
6. Worship without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle

-Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

I can’t decide which of these I’m most peeved by, but this is pretty much the most succinct articulation of the things that make me furrow my brow. And the things that I believe should cause us to all collectively furrow our metaphorical world brow.

and this is why I love diggnation…

(Pardon the profanity…just had to capture the glory of this quote with full journalistic integrity.)

“If you want to go live on an island where you can be raped and murdered and people can steal your shit if they’re bigger than you and there are no cops… Great! Cool! Go do it! But if you want to live in a society where the guy who, you know, punches you in the nuts on a train get arrested and goes to jail because that’s illegal (then live here.)…There’s some other shit that’s illegal that you may want to go do. You may be a wizard, who is great at magic, and wants to go to Coachella, and for some reason, the magic in you makes you go, “You know what? my wizard robes need to come off. Boom, they are now gone.” ….Being a naked wizard at Coachella is also illegal. Look, you can go live on your island where you have to have a gun and protect your shit. Or you can put your wizard robes back on. And still be a wizard with your robe on. At Coachella.” -Alex Albrecht

I realize this is entirely out of context, but that’s beside the point. Cheers to people who make the world a far more fun and interesting place. Let the wizard magic in you out and go be one of those people. And go watch Diggnation.
