  22. Taylor Somers

    I am a cavalier. I hate puritanism. I love authority, but I also love liberty. I think loyalty, honour, and civility are the most important things in life. Romanticism is superior to the Enlightenment. Beauty is superior to efficiency. If you don't believe in anything higher than yourself, you will probably not understand me at all.

  23. Kristen

    Why do they say "hindsight is 20/20?" Is it really? I've got plenty of past events that don't make sense. Am I missing something. Hindsight for me is often AS messed up as foresight. Either way my eyes are open and I'm trying to figure it all out. Truly trying to advocate for people's rights even if they aren't aware of the dangers out there.

    "Indeed, the musicians of Ireland are as harmless and inoffensive a class of persons as ever existed, and there can be no greater proof of this than the very striking fact that in the criminal statistics of the country the name of an Irish piper or fiddler has scarcely if ever been known to appear."
