Choose your weapon

I have always considered myself a moderate. I am constantly irritated at the 20% on the right that label themselves conservative and the 20% on the left that label themselves liberal and my friends in the middle that are mostly silent (or just smart). However, we have reached the top and are headed down the slippery slope of the other side. This will require those of us in the middle to choose a side since the 20% position is that you are either with us or against us. A smart survivalist will join the conservative 20%. They are the ones with the guns and are willing to use them. And that is very sad.

Origin Story: A Big History of Everything by David Christian
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent history of our universe. I would consider this a must read for anyone interested in a contextual history of where we came from, where we are now and what the future looks like.

Epitaph ideas

Been working on my epitaph. I like this one.

"Here lies Steve Perryman. He lived life marching to the beat of a different song and it was a song that very few others had ever heard. "

I stole that from this quote from Warren Buffet. He said it about his long time friend and partner, Charlie Munger.

(Charlie) “Marches to the beat of his own music, and it's music like virtually no one else is listening to.”

Alice said it.....

My new favorite quote:

‘‘Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Alice in Wonderland

Never trust rude people...

A good rule of thumb is to never trust anyone who is nice to you but not the waiter or the janitor.
