Questionable opinions and pointless ramblings

This isn't so much a blog as a loose assembly of things that occured, failed to occur, or just occurred to me. Feel free to disagree with my opinions and question my facts - I make no claims to wisdom or erudition. Well, actually I lay claim to both, right up until - and usually after - I'm proved wrong.

Those looking for meaning, reason or enlightenment would be well advised to try Immanuel Kant, Thomas Paine or Gilbert O'Sullivan.
