Spring

Yep, it's that time of the year when tests are coming, massive end-of-the-year culmination projects are looming, and I'm handing you pieces of other people's brains because mine is occupied with other concerns. Hope you enjoy the inimitable J. Salinger.

. . .

And I was yet aware that this was only a moment, that the world waited outside, as hungry as a tiger, and that trouble stretched out above us, longer then the sky.

Toward Tradition-- a "tradition" of banding together to overcome the twin evils of Islam and separation of church and state, which are of course the real enemy at a time in our history when the world violent-crime rate has jumped ten percent, genocide's taking place in Sudan, Kazakhstan's got a huge quantity of the heavy weapontry of the former USSR and it's in the middle of a civil war, you can get hepatitis just by breathing the air in certain parts of Mexico, the UN is an unfunny joke, and millions of people living in the most prosperous country in the world still live in cardboard boxes and have no food to eat

I think I would be a little angry with these folks if they were influential. As it is, I just hope their fifteen minutes are over soon.
