Two Snippets.

I’m going to repeat something I wrote in an e-mail (again.)

‘I’m so lonely I feel like an eggshell after the chick has hatched.’

I do so only because I think the simile is a bit nifty.

I saw a snippet from a Japanese website tonight. It said:

‘Teaching our children impulse control.’

Is this a good thing? I suppose it depends on the impulse, but it strikes me that it would be very easy to take it too far – especially in the Age of Systematic Establishment Hysteria.
