Stealing Brent's New Year Thunder

Hank Fox's picture

A toast from Robert Heinlein's Jubal Harshaw:

"Here's to our noble selves!"

To all the hosts and commenters and readers here, and to all the bright, funny, reasoning people we share the world with:

Happy New Year!

To the living, all the best in 2008.

To those who couldn't be here with us, warm memories of the time we had together.

"And to absent friends . . .

. . . in memory, still bright."

Because even though I do not care for the neologism "brights", it is true that those I cherish most have been people of clear and brilliant intellect, unhindered by superstition, willing to look at reality and live this one life we have with all their heart.

Peace, my friends, and with hopes for a better world that we make with our own efforts.

I'm looking for a "tipping-point" where humanity starts realizing it's up to us, and that's a good thing.
