the revolution of one

This blog is about skeptisicm, a distrust of ideas and change. But it is also radical, anachronistic, and a bit luddite, for to be skeptical of change is not merely to accept things as they are now--that would be the case only if one knew nothing about the past--but to view with distrust the way things are now, over and against how things once were. If you want to change things, change yourself, and maybe change your locality. Let's not be so arrogant as to try to change the world.

Hurrah for revolution and more cannon shot!
A beggar on horseback lashes a beggar on foot.
Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.
