Two goodies from the Moneychanger

These past few days I may have sounded rather harsh and unforgiving toward the criminals, parasites, and tyrants who stand in the way of our lives, freedom & prosperity. Most of the time I merely laugh at them because they are so ridiculous, posturing as Great Benefactors of Humanity & Wise Men when in fact they lack enough maturity to be admitted to an adult Sunday School class.

I never knew this before, but on 31 July 1777 the Marquis de Lafayette was made major-general of the Continental Army at an age of only 19. That couldn't happen today because the only thing 19 year olds know is how to play video games, although a few can read.
