Bio
Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty and wisdom will come to you that way - Christopher Hitchens.
It may be that we are meant to mark our riot and our rest,
God's scorn for all men governing. It may be beer is best.
But we are the people of England and we have not spoken yet,
Smile at us, pay us, pass us. But do not quite forget.
G K Chesterton
