Here are some links I found interesting- with minimal comment.
An illustration from the internet.
(Transcription: Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite. / Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace / If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.)
A quote.
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” – HL Mencken
