Re: morality's half twists

at any rate, there's a conundrum of morality being self serving in that (in theory) you'll do better if you follow these rules for engagement, which appear to promote selflessness. The Catholics have been doing this for 2000 years, and they've worked out most of the details. Basically, a truly awes...

Re: morality's half twists

Used to collect underground comics from the mid-70s to mid-80s. Have been selling them all off before our next adventures but keeping Binky Brown, it can fit undamaged with other papers somewhere, too funny to sell for $30 or so.

Re: Planet America

It reminds me of something my father once said to me. He was 70 at the time. "All my life I called myself a socialist. It was only recently that I realized that if socialism could ever work, we wouldn't need socialism." He wasn't wrong. I dunno, sounds like maybe a good bumper sticker to ...
