Quote for Today


I have always liked this quote:

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study
mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and
philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture,
navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children
a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary,
tapestry, and porcelain," John Adams.

And what are you studying?

I have studied engineering, Philosophy, Religious studies, Education, Theology. I have 2 undergrad degrees, a masters. I have been to what I guess counts as to technical schools mostly involving war and law. Classes such as high speed vehicular pursuit are in there someplace. I also have a lot of medical certifications, mostly relating to field medicine and life saving.

I studied these things and yet, my life still seems bound to politics and war.
