My daughter riffing on my notes to myself, with highly acerbic crackpot ideas that are supposed to be mine. At first i was all "heyyyy..... this is crazy...." then "wait! this is supposed to be ME!!!!!"

ETEWAF

ETEWAF: From WIRED a couple of months ago. I have run out of interest. Everybody seems to have eaten Quake and Quisp with Wanda Jackson while wearing their soupy Sales Fan Club Badge, nowadays.

I go do now.

I find that this is always a real pick-me-up, Dave's "I Can't Read":

Hmmm........magpies are unlucky?

1. What is fragile should break early while it is still small. Nothing should ever become too big to fail.

2. No socialisation of losses and privatisation of gains.

3. People who were driving a school bus blindfolded (and crashed it) should never be given a new bus.

4. Do not let someone making an “incentive” bonus manage a nuclear plant – or your financial risks.

5. Counter-balance complexity with simplicity.

6. Do not give children sticks of dynamite, even if they come with a warning.

7. Only Ponzi schemes should depend on confidence. Governments should never need to “restore confidence”.

8. Do not give an addict more drugs if he has withdrawal pains.

9. Citizens should not depend on financial assets or fallible “expert” advice for their retirement.

10. Make an omelette with the broken eggs.

I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the LORD.Ezekiel 20:25-26

II Kings 2:23-24


....in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. Deuteronomy 20:10-17


If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.Leviticus 20:9
