Nuclear Holucost... or Short Stories by Nic

Quote of the Day: "To learn is to live and to live is to learn. One is not living unless he is learning, yet one can be involved in such things to the point of unlearning. I say, nay shall he be living one more minute if the workings of others shall cause him such. Death would be the better adventure, yay as i say this i say it not light heartedly. For who am I to say such a thing to the one facing death when i myself have not faced it. I will tell you although many men say wise things, unless they have faced such things and done these deeds should they be taken as wise and not because of name. But truly, you shall find it within yourselves that i am right. I have no name but have faced death. Is it not ones life to grow?" - - Patrick D. Shea

I have heard some disturbing news today. I shouldn't say heard but read. I read a short story by Nic at Vandervoort.blogspot.com and decided that i am now less intelligent and have perhaps lost some ability to blog due to the reading of this short story. I decided to make that type of comment on Nicohlas August Vandervoort's blog and he responded by saying that it wasn't a waste of time, then he proceeded to say he was going to start writing childrens stories. This might be disasterous. Nic the engineer writing stories, stories for children. Now, as we all should know Engineers are the most horrific writers in the world. The difference between an English major and an Engineering major is the difference between a Right Wing Super Conservative and a Far Left Socialist Communist Crazy guy. They are complete opposites, and more so in the area that both just use different parts of the brain. Obviously Nic isnt the worst writer in the world. He has some skill with pen. It is better than most Engineers I'm sure. But writing Childrens stories should be left to the Lewis', the Tolkien's, and the Rowling's or even perhaps the Shea's. It was a tough choice when Nuclear Holucost entered my head as something to compare Nic's short rant. Low and behold thee answer came to me. It is better to have died and learned than to live and unlearn. One should not go on this earth, no not one, becoming more vile and less intelligent from the workings of others lest he perish before.
