I think you all know that I don’t like Truman very much, but this is one of his better quotes:
“If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don’t want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances. Neither of them thinks anything of their pledged word.”
Harry Truman
New York Times, June 24, 1941
From Wikiquote
Here is the Quote of the Month for September 2006:
The best government is that which governs least. No human depositories [of power] can, with safety, be trusted with the power of legislation upon the general interests of society so as to operate directly or indirectly upon the industry and property of the community.
From the first issue of The Democratic Review, 1837
I know it’s September, but this is the here’s the overdue quote for August:
“Use sin as it will use you; spare it not, for it will not spare you; it is your murderer and the murderer of the world. Use it, therefore, as a murderer should be used. Kill it before it kills you; and though it kill your bodies, it shall not be able to kill your souls; and though it bring you to the grave, as it did your Head, it shall not be able to keep you there.”
This is a short post, as will be many of my following posts, I’m afraid I’m getting really busy and don’t have as much time to post now as I did this summer. Daily posts will likely stop, and this blog will become more weekly.
AiG has a really good weekly series going, News to Note, where they reply to the various media articles about creation and evolution. This is their third or fourth one, responding to various things such as DNA discoveries, the ongoing ID controversy in public schools, various stereotypes about creationists, and a few other things.
Israel launched another raid into Lebanon with the expressed intention of stopping a shipment of arms getting to Hezbollah. Of course, everybody is angry about Israel’s supposed violation of the truce, without saying that Hezbollah violated it by trying to get weapons and refusing to disarm. People are disappointed with France, which hasn’t been very reliable or diligent in its obligations to keep the peace. That is to be expected, of course, along with the ceasefire not working, and the UN’s inability to do anything. Just another straw in the barn sized stack of hay showing evidence of the UN’s inability to accomplish its mission.
For you new readers, I would recommend going back to my previous posts and read them to get more of an idea of what this blog is mostly about. The Islam discussion was off topic, though still enjoyable and educational, as all debates are. I hope you will post your thoughts as they come to you in comments, which I will likely be able to answer, since that doesn’t take as much time.
UPDATE: This is also a commemoration of my 100th post, though that passed a few days ago. I also have exactly 200 comments total, as of this writing. That’s an average of 2 comments for every post. Thanks for the responses guys!
A finally got rid of a lot of nagging problems today. I’ve displayed my name on the post info bar at the end of each entry. The italics in the sidebar headers are gone, although they never appeared anyway in Internet Explorer and Opera. I solved the big problem of displaying all my posts on the index page. Loading my blog should be much easier now.
I’ve also got the homepage up at www.prorege.org.
I solved a lot of problems with my template today. I got rid of the italics in the footer and sidebar links. I also changed the typeface and the colors some more. I’m working on installing a plugin that will stop all my posts from being displayed on the index page. Man, I love WordPress, though.
Welcome to my new WordPress blog. I’m still working out the quircks in the design (e.g. the italics in the sidebar and footer).
I’ve got all the posts categorized, and the About page set up. Feel free to read some of the previous posts in the new typeset.
