Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
“I PEEKED BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND THE WIZARD TURNED AND WINKED, KNOWINGLY, AT ME.”
ah, my silly, cave-man ancestors with their thoughts of spirits in the wind, soon co-opted by a never ending line of shamans.
thank god, my more modern relatives could see HIM in it all and, of course, the priestly class was spawned.
time and sophistication have delivered us from such “superstition”–we now have astrophysicist/cosmologists to weave wonderful tales of a centimeter-sized universe, full of unmeasurable dark energy and free from cult followers?–right?
“YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE, CAN’T YOU?”
Excellent. Thanks for putting me onto this.
