Port Canaveral Locks & Words of Wisdom


This image is one I took at sunset of the Port Canaveral Locks near Titusville, Florida. A great location to see manatees (I did spot a few), and right before sunset, you can see lots of Black Crowned Night Herons, Woodstorks, and other interesting avian species.

I've not ranted much these days, but I have observed that much of the ills that are occuring these days all seem to stem from the suppression of free thought. All tyrannies thrive on suppression of thought. Free thinking is a natural right given to all men and women by God. Any tyranny that suppresses thought, suppresses freedom. Any tyranny that suppresses freedom must be destroyed early on before it can spread like a cancer.
So my fellow infidels, I will leave you now because I know you are busy. Take these words of wisdom by British author and philosopher, Bertrand Russell, and may they serve you well:


"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."
-- Bertrand Russell
