"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." Nietzsche
I recently caused a pair of gloves to levitate by the power of prayer. Faith can move mittens. |

Brute Force is often frowned upon in favor of creative thinking, but brute force is sooooo much more spectacular in both sucess and failure.
I hate California, it's the largest municipality that actually restricts flamethrowers.
If it ain't real, Fake it
If it don't exist, Make it
If it ain't yours, Take it
If it ain't broke, Break it!
Be alert! America needs more Lerts.
I've made up my mind, don't try to distract me with facts.
Brute force should always be the first attempted method, because if it fails, there's still resources left for a creative solution. While on the other hand, if the creative solution fails, there may not be the resources left over for a brute force solution.

If you see it and it's there, it's real. If you see it and it's not there, it's virtual. If you don't see it and it's there, it's invisible. If you don't see it and it's not there, it's gone. Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. The wise mercenary resorts to violence at the earliest opportunity. - Howard Tayler, Schlock Mercenary |

By the Beans of Life do my thoughts acquire speed
My hands acquire a shaking
The shaking becomes a warning

I think I could well be a Taoist if it wasn't for all that going off and living in a cave business. Some sort of Shaker/Taoist combo might work. |

“Punishment produces Force, Force produces Strength, Strength produces Awe, Awe produces Kindness. Kindness has its origin in Force”
Gongsun Yang (aka Lord Shang of the Legalist approach to governance as opposed to Taoist and Confucian ) about 350 BC
Love the Mad Asians. Me mum was born there back in the dark ages. Please pardon the translation as I am told one could easily replace ‘Kindness’ with ‘Virtue.’
