can hardly exist in the sports arena, much less world affairs. What dangerous nonsense fills the head of would be world leaders who succumb to belief in an Enlightenment world when the lights have been maliciously switched out?
It's called stupid. Evil is stupid. Misapplied intelligence is stupid. Pride is stupid. Treating stupid people as honorable, good, and reasonable dignitaries is supremely stupid. Custodians of such popular myths are religiously stupid.
I heartily distrust the word honor, surely as abused a term and questionable emotion as the broad rubric of "love". Do babies get blown apart and nations ravaged for honor? Do you lose people's lives, liberties, and the fate of the world to preserve honor?
That "honor" is the tribute of Arlington Cemetery, the confiscated home of one Virginian, Gen. Lee, who prolonged a useless slaughter against the America for its pure and noble sake.
