"Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God, there is in that man no spirit of compromise. He has not the modesty born of the imperfections of human nature; he has the arrogance of theological certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance. Believing himself to be the slave of God, he imitates his master, and of all tyrants, the worst is a slave in power."--Robert G. Ingersoll

The Poison Pen
Last week Human Events Online, a news site for regressives, posted "The Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries". The selected evil titles (with handy links for each one to Amazon.com) are pretty much what one would expect, although I was mildly surprised to see the #2 book listed there. I figured that one would be in a fucking "highly recommended" list or something.
You're right!, our mistake (summer interns....).
