Headed to aFrIcA. .

Headed to Africa today. It will take roughly 33 hours or so from doorstep to doorstep, but it's a small price to pay for seeing the beauty of this tiny spinning globe.

I'll leave with a thought.


What makes anything sacred, the only thing that makes it sacred, which the fundamentalists don't understand? And is that bad? If it's ALL just mechanism. . .where is the room for ANY form of moral judgment? And when you realize that level, do you feel like a rug has been pulled out from underneath you and there is no floor.


And a great quote from Mark Twain:

"If a man doesn't believe as we do, we say he is a crank, and that settles it. I mean it does nowadays, because now we can't burn him."
