In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Malpidity: the intersection of malfeasance, incompetence, and stupidity.

Useful Irish phrases I learned from my teacher Roibeárd Ó hÚrdail
“Easpa feasa ort”
“Nach rachaidh cludach do bháis thar do imleacán”

We are protagonists in the battle against baleful ignorance that stands athwart the path of progress

Our prejudices are our personal commitments to ignorance.
We become enslaved by them. When we free ourselves of our prejudices we also free others.

“Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well I have others.”
- Groucho Marx

Will you come.with me?

last week
1. Woke up, fell out of bed
2. Dragged a comb across my head
3. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
4. Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
5. Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
