Of course that means you should neglect to hide eggs, but tell all the kids to go look anyway.

“The Rich Want to Keep You Dumb,” Francesca Fiorentini (Newsbroke)
I’m not sure I agree with all of the points presented here … Precisely what does it mean to be “educated?” A university education is a formal education. What about people anywhere along the political spectrum who are self-educated?

“Hell is other people!”
“All those eyes intent on me. Devouring me. What? Only two of you? I thought there were more; many more. So this is hell. I’d never have believed it.

— Jean-Paul Sartre

These are from the winter’s first snow on Wednesday. I believe those tracks you see were made by a raccoon.
