I've been reading the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. There are some interesting thoughts and theories his character comes up with. The following is from "Odd Hours" and says what just might be true today:
"If evil geniuses are so rare, why do so many bad people get away with so many crimes against their fellow citizens and, when they become leaders of nations, against humanity?
Edmund Burke provided the answer in 1795: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
.....It is also essential that good men and women not be educated and propagandized into believing that real evil is a myth and that all malevolent behavior is merely the result of a broken family's or failed society's shortcomings, amenable to cure by counseling and by the application of new economic theory."
Gives one something to think about.

About Me
- Momlady
- I live in a log cabin in North Georgia. I have crafter's ADD so I do many things such as knitting, quilting, basketry, and making jewelry. Some of it actually sells. Otherwise I spend a lot of time with my daughter (she introduced me to the world of blogging). I am an older woman (not OLD) who is crotchety, sometimes abrasive, and truthful 99.5% of the time. I like to travel and, if ever given the opportunity, would love to see more of this country, even though I've already seen quite a bit.
Oh, my...a visitor!

Ignorant people are too easily led astray by evil. That's why we need to watch our gubernant so closely!
Just wish we could be more effective.
Hope your code is better!
Blessings!
My cold has departed, thank you.
