"E pur si muove."

After being forced to recant his belief that the Earth revolved around the Sun by the Inquisition, Galileo was rumored to have muttered the phrase "E pur si muove." "And yet it moves." This was his rejection of the conventional wisdom at the time - that the Earth was the stationary center of the universe - which we now know to have been most spectacularly false.

While not the sole topic of this blog, much of what I write revolves around this theme - that the conventional wisdom is often flawed, and that all lies, inexorably, must eventually lead to the truth.

Sometimes I write because I have something to say; others, simply because I find it helpful to see my ideas written out; occasionally it's to see if one of my hair brained ideas actually holds any water. Either way, I hope you'll enjoy at least a few of my fairly random rants! If you care to read more about my motivations behind starting this blog, please click here.

What the hell is WRONG with people??

Who really wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves: "You know what? I'm so strongly against human rights violations in China, that I'm gonna go beat up an Olympic torch bearer."

WTF man. Seriously. You're going to ASSAULT someone, to protest other people's human rights being violated? You're going to disenfranchise someone of their right to be free from harm (and political persecution) in order to make a case for the rights of Chinese people to be free from harm (and political persecution)?

WHAT IS THE POINT?!?

And then they have the audacity to wonder why they bring the cops out to spray you with a fire hose or pepper you with rubber bullets (which can actually kill you).

Why. Why? Because you're f*cking idiots that's why. Clearly these people have been sniffing too much glue to make reasonable decisions anymore. If you're assaulting Olympic torch bearers for any reason whatsoever, you're a dumbass that deserves to have dogs sicked on them. By all means, protest whatever you want, but as far as I'm concerned, the second you try to harm an innocent party, you deserve to have a cap or two popped in yer arse.
