Happy Birthday!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Happy Birthday Gwaith.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
Like Gandalf, I have a big interest in fireworks. I used to be a member of the Fireworks Guild International and put on a big fireworks show for the neighbors every 4th of July. Some of the local selectmen even referred to me as the town's resident pyrotechnician. I hope, someday, to adapt my annual fireworks trips to Pennsylvania into a Middle Earth short story.
