Two Little Asides.

A simple question:

If a man hires an assassin to kill somebody, which of the two bears the greater responsibility for the murder?

-----------------------------------

It might have become apparent by now that I am no stranger to emotion. I don’t always like the fact, but I was born that way and I can’t help it. It is interesting, however, that my emotions are often not stirred by the things that stir most people. What seems most able to get me going are two things: release from bondage and the bringing of peace. Seeing a person or an animal set free rarely fails to bring a lump to my throat; and, in the right circumstances, the image of the white dove carrying an olive branch can have the same effect.
