The great equalizer (BSBTE)

In short, what would likely most impress a visitor from the past about Bill Gates’s life are precisely those modern advantages that are not unique to Bill Gates – advantages now enjoyed by nearly all Americans.

As quoted in Cafe Hayek.

Great video from LibertarianSass

Weekend musings

After a couple of days of fun and melancholy, celebrating yet also saying goodbye (for now) to good friends, came one of those great Atlanta Sundays. Christmas gifts packed, cards written, brief workout, coffee on the patio, lunch with a friend, chocolate cake baked, lovely dinner made.

DEATH:

DEATH is a dialogue between   
The spirit and the dust.   
“Dissolve,” says Death. The Spirit, “Sir,   
I have another trust.”   
 
Death doubts it, argues from the ground.           
The Spirit turns away,   
Just laying off, for evidence,   
An overcoat of clay.
