Do I contradict myself? Well then, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time.

I met Ferencz at a conference in 2006. He was incredibly cheery and affable, which I would have a hard time being if my entire life were revolved around genocide.

Ferencz died in 2023 at 103 years old; I only found out today--the 80th anniversary of Nuremberg.

There are no words for how despicable it is that this despot was allowed into the White House, and for once I'm not talking about Trump.

On one hand, I don't like the New York Post. On the other hand, I don't like unrepentant litterers. On the third hand, I don't like publicly shaming mentally ill people. On the fourth--She dumps them regularly *in bulk*?!? Shame away.

Remember 2006, when Larry Summers crawled into a hole, died, and we never had to hear his name again?

I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not.

So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things.

The *whole point* of Lord of the Rings is that traditional heroes are of the past and that the heroes of the modern era are little people, women, and a corrupted underground fish creature. Imagine reading* Lord of the Rings and getting it this wrong.
