A Collection of
Irreverent Ideas by David Thomas*
This is a gathering of bits of, uh, information and commentary that
didn't and probably won't fit anywhere else. Some of the material may
be a bit irreverent, and there is no pattern or theme at work here that
we know about. Random stuff happens.
Shit flew at random. Random ducked, and it hit the king, square
in the face. - Old English, anon.
Each of them tacitly claims that 'the truth' has already been revealed,
and that the heretic, if he is not simply a fool, is secretly aware
of 'the truth' and merely resists it out of selfish motives. -
George Orwell on Catholics and Communists, 1945-46
Random knew the difference.

- Hatred Often Lurks in the Shadows
of Mania, by Julian Lieb
In the former Soviet Union, it was decided by applying a certain
sort of officially sanctioned logic that anyone who could not appreciate
the goodness and grandeur of the political system there was a
priori insane and eligible for cofinement in a state asylum.
Nightmare stuff from days of old, right? Read this and feel a bit
disturbed at the proximity of something you thought gone.

* Note: David Thomas was not the first, but was the most important Webmaster of CODOHWeb throughout its
formative years. Mr. Thomas spent many long hours going where
no man had gone before. We are forever grateful for his hard
work and dedication in an otherwise thankless and payless position.
I am grateful for having had the opportunity to meet him. I
remember how he was taken with observing the moons of Jupiter on his
new hand-held telescope.
