“The Mortal Tempest by Stewart Stafford
In the tranquil, shaded crypt,
Life's storms batter no more,
Historia, the isolated remnant,
Of an interior remembrance.
The howling gale, a mourner's cry,
Icy tendrils reaching to exert,
The only possible pressure,
On a shell in heedless slumber.
A post-mortem death wish,
Phantom projection of the morbid,
To vacate an urn and soar,
Swirling ash in the mortal tempest.

Her father cuddled up with her to watch movies and then carried her to bed when she fell asleep on the couch. She knew they loved her. And yet the certainty with which Lord Jarel spoke plucked at her terror”

Female mosquitoes often only mate once. What if we could trick them into mating with a sterile male? This should mean fewer cute little baby mosquitoes,* which means less malaria transmission. An early strategy to make sterile male mosquitoes was to expose them to radiation. This did indeed sterilize the males, but well . . . it turns out that when you expose a guy to a huge dose of radiation, it may increase his chances of sleeping alone.”

Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”

“The most absurd public opinion polls are those on taxes. Now, if there is one thing we know about taxes, it is that people do not want to pay them. If they wanted to pay them, there would be no need for taxes. People would gladly figure out how much of their money that the government deserves and send it in. And yet we routinely hear about opinion polls that reveal that the public likes the tax level as it is and might even like it higher. Next they will tell us that the public thinks the crime rate is too low, or that the American people would really like to be in more auto accidents.”
