Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

People are often taken by surprise by my libertarian leanings, but I don’t quite get why. To me, having freedoms doesn’t immediately convert them to rights that must be protected by the state. Instead, I think of freedoms as gifts and each of us should show ourselves to be worthy. As people who know me have heard (over and over), I consider myself a tax-and-spend libertarian. I like taxes, but I want less government. Ideally, government should be well funded to do not much. So my little run-in at the post office gives me opportunity to talk about accepting responsibility for the perilous freedoms we enjoy.
