Title: I was thinking that too ...

Random thoughts on the passing scene:

    * Before becoming a perfectionist, you might think about the fact that the human race has survived for thousands of years without being anywhere close to perfection.

    * I would vote against anyone who plays the race card. Race and politics have been an explosive mixture in countries around the world.

    * If you were to make a lineup of the all-time best New York Yankees at each position, three of the four infield positions would be filled by those currently playing – Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano. Mark Teixeira would be in the running at first base, except for the great Lou Gehrig.

    * If polygamists were not allowed to redefine marriage to suit themselves, why should homosexuals be allowed to?

    * Although Tiger Woods' behavior that led to his divorce does him no credit, it is a credit to him that he cared enough about his family that losing them ruined his performance in golf. If he gets married again, I suspect that he will not repeat what he did.

    * In a sense, politicians don't know what they are talking about. But, in another sense, they know exactly what they are talking about. They may not have a clue about the issue they are discussing and yet be experts on how to get you to think they know.

Right! Just ask them!

Who is wringing their hands over Hiroshima? I don't think I've ever met one. I know some very old men who still hate the Japanese.
