Is it July 22nd yet?

If so and you are reading this, then you are reading something more than 36 hours after I posted it. Why is this of any relevance whatsoever? Good question. According to some statistical physicists:

The average half-life of a news item is just 36 hours, or one and a half days after it is released.
That is why it is important to check the date that you first read this article. In fact why don't all 3 of my readers make a comment to this posting about when they viewed it. I would be curious to look back in a couple months and see if this article proves true.

"Perhaps your grip on reality is not quite as firm as you might have hoped" - Todd Connelly


"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Words are chameleons, which reflect the color of their environment. -Learned Hand, jurist (1872-1961)

What does all of this do to the best minds among the students? Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think, sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.
