Nobel Prize

Congratulations !

But nothing is so easy in this maze we live in. People applaud, and others criticize. Endless talk and arguments.
I have a friend who insists on sending me half-baked articles on health care; they seek to persuade, not to analyze. And most of their logic is "something I don't like happened after X, therefore, it happened because of X."
I don't know why the dim insist on spreading their gospel of dimness, but they do. So finally I wrote back saying that such and such an article was politics and persuasion. She writes back and says I have not faith in Capitalism, and she has no faith in Big Brother.

Faith.
I have no faith in Capitalism, I have no faith in Big Brother-ism. I do not think human life may be reduced to either; life cannot be painted into either vicious corner.

And Faith is for God, not some Ideology.

What good is talking about anything, when we're all idiots?

I was on Jury Duty. In the jury room, I read a July People magazine about Jon and Kate, trying to find out exactly who they were,.and why their faces are everywhere.
In July, Jon was having an adulterous affair with someone called Hailley Grassman. And this entire country was tuned in and loving it.

....a country of moral morons.
