A year ago I quoted
theferrett, who said,
"[...] given the multitudes of bored, creative people
out there, no thought is truly original; they're only
unpublicized." Since then, I have found this
complementary quote from Abraham Lincoln which I wish I'd
known at the time:
"Books serve to show a man that those original
thoughts of his aren't very new after all."
New ideas
Though I seriously doubt Lincoln, far thinking as he was, thought of sex with fuzzy aliens. Barry B. Longyear published that one. ^shrug^
I'm still unconvinced that keeping the South in the Union was a great idea, anyway. It could have avoided as much of a Civil War, maybe. Actually, I think I might be relieved if they reseceded.
We might have to move north, but that can be done. Since I'm contemplating it already. Just a matter of finances and degree. I do not like this place and want you in a better one. Ooh. That came out wrong. I just worry over your leaky roof and want to help. But have only limited powers. And S_C has final say anyway. Pipe Dreams, or maybe not.
If you think of something hard enough, there might be a breakthrough thought. Or not.
