With most men, unbelief in one thing springs from blind belief in another. – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, “Notebook L,” Aphorisms

While it may not be appropriate in every venue, and on every occasion, mockery is the guardian of reason, the enemy of pretension, and the mirror to folly. No belief, no passion, no commitment should be considered immune from the acerbic test of ridicule. – Dr. Idel Dreimer, www.lumpenbangenpiano.com
