"You aren't quite serious in America yet. You haven't got the war right under your chins, and the consequence is you can still play with the idea of terror and conflict.
Its a natural thing to do until you're right up against it.
And then it ceases to be a game..."
-HG Wells
1940
Came upon this quote while listening to a radio interview between Orson Welles and H.G. Wells that was discovered semi-recently.
They were discussing the events surrounding the radio premiere of the program War of the Worlds, that caused panic in America, because people actually believed they were being invaded by martians.
I just found this quote striking, especially with its connotations today.
And thus, my first journal entry in several years.
Enjoy.

Rants, dribbles, muses, doodles. Basically whatever I feel like updating. Infrequent, uninteresting, and just plain odd.
Kinda like me. =P
