Guns or Butter?

Ours is NOT to do or die. 
Ours is just to reason WHY?



The stench of compromise is preferable to the stench of death*




 *except apparently, in case of every war or armed conflict that has ever been, is currently unfolding or will ever occur in the future.

Governments seem to spend far more on military armaments, than education, culture or measures to combat poverty. So spending many more dollars to start a war rather than to stop one. Prevention is better than the cure, unless that prevention is mutually assured destruction. Can't we all just get along? Well obviously not, but can't we all focus a little less on killing people who don't speak our language or participate in our "Free-trade" agreements? Ok well, it's not really so much, the people on the ground  in the populations who want to kill others, but somehow they always end up with leaders that would rather use soldiers than diplomacy. The two World Wars didn't need to happen, but I can hardly imagine how the world would be if they hadn't. The whole system was cruising for a bruising clash, to teach itself how bad war is. Nationalistic rivalries and imperialistic jealousies, seem to trump shared humanity when it comes to the crunch. Just do what the media tells you and it will all be fine, for them.

Whenever there is another unexplained tragic horrible shooting massacre, that seem to occur frequently. Blame violence in society caused by Hollywood, video games, the internet, trench coats, hidden messages in music, Gothic subcultures, or anything the kids are into these days. But never, ever, EVER... blame guns or threaten to restrict their distribution or sale, if you ever want to get elected in America. From my cold dead hands, but you have to kill me first and I have a cache that would make David Koresh a bit nervous. So blame Batman, and try to only use your AK only for self-defence, or turning off light bulbs.

Variety is obviously 'the spice of life', or so we've been told. But is it really? I mean really?

Or is it really...



Variety is the spice of inconsistency
Variety is the spice of sex
Variety is the luck of change
Variety is the way of nature
Variety is the business
Variety is difficult to categorise
Variety is hard to predict
Variety is not where you left it
Variety is the fuel of comedy
Variety is reason for our differences
Variety is unexpected and scary
Variety is just around the corner
Variety is coming next Tuesday
Variety is a vagabond
Variety is on a plate
Variety is magical
Variety is a word
Variety defies definition
Variety creates interesting juxtapositions
Variety hates uniformity and lists
Variety loves company and misery
Variety emits and submits
Variety deludes and excludes
Variety denies and supplies
Variety does what it wishes
Variety can be harmony
Variety will set you free
Variety is hard work
Variety rocks

The End Of History


You can find where these quotes came from yourself, I'm obviously admitting I didn't think them up originally, as some of them are quite famous or infamous in their own right or transitioning toward a common cliché for some. But one person's cultural touchstone, is another's idea of academic torture.  I could go on tangents at any time and frequently do. Some could have multiple sources. As it's all getting quite derivative and multi-layered in the world of everything. Pop will eat itself and we will all enjoy the show. So, why should I spoon feed you and say where they all came from? I mean we can all use a search engine these days, can't we?
I mean really.... Anyway quotey-time-time!


  • Never on schedule, always on time.

  • Jesus died for somebodies sins, but not mine.

  • We have met the enemy and he is us.

  • We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.

  • I was the Dreamweaver. But now I'm reborn. 

  • No one's gonna love you more than I do.

  • The things we fear most have already happened.

  • Everything that's made, is made to decay.

  • None of this matters.

Critical Thinking


It's raining and pouring down in an absolutely filthy way, where I am currently
I can hear rain attacking the windows and wind bullying trees outside.
But to tell you the truth it gives me an excuse to be inside and do eff all.
I mean I could be doing that with sun coming through the windows,
but it always makes me feel slightly guiltier, like I am wasting daylight or sun...
Yet, If I am doing something I want to do though, is there any harm or wastage?

Cosmic Glue

No cause for conCERN

All the large Hadron particle collisions paid off! Smashing...

Big ups to the Higgs boson for keeping us all together!

Giving mass to the masses since ages ago.

Found it hiding in some protons.
