Introducing CFO 2.0
I've been away from the blogosphere for a while. College responsibilities have taken center stage for the past couple months, and the times I did try to post anything more than a video or a few words, Blogger.com has been less than cooperative. But I'm happy to announce that the blogging will resume in earnest, at CFO's new home, WordPress! My Blogger posts will still be available here, but from now on, all my new material will be posted at rightcal.wordpress.com!

Quote of the Day
If one encounters among the opinions of a democratic people some of those harmful theories that tend to make it believed that everything perishes with the body, consider the men who profess them as the natural enemies of the people.
There are many things that offend me in the materialists. Their doctrines appear to me pernicious and their haughtiness revolts me. If their system could be of some utility to man, it seems that it would be in giving him a modest idea of himself. But they do not make anyone see that this should be so; and when they believe they have sufficiently established that they are only brutes, they show themselves as proud as if they had demonstrated they were gods.
Materialism is a dangerous malady of the human mind in all nations; but one must dread it particularly in a democratic people because it combines marvelously with the most familiar vice of the heart in these peoples.
- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, p. 519

"Truthers to the left of me, truthers to the right"
“I believe Trig was born to Sarah Palin. I believe Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. I believe fire can melt steel and that bin Laden’s jihadi crew — not Bush and Cheney — perpetrated mass murder on 9/11. What kind of kooky conspiracist does that make me?”
