I'm sure it's very obvious . . . how upset I am with incompetence and the lack of common sense in life. If I can sum up the reason . . . it's that these characteristics are not benign. They are responsible for much, if not most, of the great problems, misery, and injustice in the world.

And I believe the truth is mighty, and shines by its own light.

There's no immortality of the soul that you can infer from the Bible.
Vincent Bugliosi
Image
All things and all people in life have to sink or swim on their own merits, not their reputation that just as a wise man can say a foolish thing, a fool can say something wise.
