Video of the day -- Hitchens on Islam
Christopher Hitchens has been lost to us for more than a decade now -- but his words will never die. Of particular interest, I thought, was the segment starting at 5:44 where he observes how more humane societies are possible when the true morality innate in humans overrides the fake morality promulgated by religion. But if you know Hitchens, you know all of this will be good.

On work days there is likely to be a substantial delay in approving comments, since I can't do blog stuff in an office. For this I apologize.
He is missed. We need another outspoken genius, with zero tolerance for BS, to fill his shoes.
ReplyDeleteOn a completely different note, if you have access to Chris Rock’s latest performance on Netflix, I think you’ll appreciate it.
There's no one else quite like him. I hope someday there will be.
ReplyDeleteI don't have Netflix or anything like that, but I'm sure I'll eventually be able to find it on YouTube or somewhere similar.
We do need someone so eloquent to take up the role once more. He left a mighty big hole.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone will arise to do so, but there will never be anyone quite like him.
ReplyDeletenever heard of him & now I miss him. tx for posting
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be inspired to find out more about him. He was quite a character.
