Short Story - Enough for a Day
Old age had made these mornings unbearable. Where once the muscle of youth and then, yes, the extra weight of middle age, had provided some measure of warmth and resistance to the cold Moldovan morning, old age had robbed him of both. His eyes opened slowly and cloudily gazed around at his home.February 2004 Bookshelf

Few human pathologies are more damning or dangerous than the arrogant pursuit of power. Rarely does the statement that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" engender anything but acceptance. We each sense that those in power, as well as those seeking power, are willing to give up a lot, to stand for little, all in the pursuit of power, prestige and social standing.Honesty About Hypocrisy
Dr. Chomsky's talk begins by addressing the definition of hypocrisy: "... if it is wrong when they do something, it is wrong when we do it ..." His next statement is that his thesis is that "...we are all total hypocrites ..." The not-so-subtle point he is making is that one man's war is another man's terrorism. He allows you to make this connection, and frankly, it is probably a very fair paradox to dwell on.About MysteriousFaith
“If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in thought or deed, I will gladly change. I seek the truth, which never yet hurt anybody. It is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance which does harm.”
