Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Me, mid-breakdown: What if I go onto a social media site where everyone is having a breakdown? Would that help?

If fear of punishment is what discourages you from doing bad things, you have no morals.
"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

But now South African Michael Scott can just install a commercial server at OPM to scoop it all up?
