The difference between a book and a statue
#64
Eh, I reckon they've moved on from the Confederate statues and have started tearing down statues of saint, authors, and Union generals like Grant... and exhuming graves to desecrate from the Revolution and both sides of the War for Secession.

I'm not good with any of that, either, although it has no bearing on me. I happen to think desecration is desecration, but if your good with the destruction of Confederate statues, then you'll also have to be good with the above in order to be fair.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
