earth*asylum

one of my favorite quotes is by voltaire. it goes like this:

"earth is an insane asylum to which the other planets deport their lunatics"

i think it's something to keep in mind. the first part is definitely applicable. funny thing about the word "asylum". it has quite a few meanings, like "habitat, seclusion, refuge, hiding place, mental institution, and a bounded area....that is a prison or a cage." all perfect descriptions of our sweet earth. it's where we live, where we hide, where we seek sanctuary, where we are confined....with all the other loonies out there.

trying to make sense of nonsense is nearly impossible. good thing i don't overly worship logic & rationality, since reason onlt takes us so far. you can ride it there, certainly, but just remember when to get off.
