Thought for the day

Our thought for this Sunday morning comes from the Pre-Socratic philosopher Xenophanes of Colophon (570-475BC), who first voiced this insight piece of post-prandial wisdom:

_Quote Among men he is to be praised who after drinking produces noble thoughts . . . “

  3. I see what you mean: you're referring of course to his notion that "the first principle and basic nature of all things is water . . . "

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
