Words of wisdom

16th July 2004

“Violence never solves anything.”

– Virtually every peacenik and protestor who carries a sign in protest of the War on Terror.

“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any
other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst.
Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their
lives and freedoms.”

– Robert A. Heinlein.

It is with these words that I announce the following: I am shutting down heinleinblog. As was the case with my involvement with the Heinlein Society, I simply do not have time to give this blog the attention it deserves.

But these posts — which have grown so infrequent as to classify this blog as defunct — will be moved to my man blog, Peoria Pundit.

Soon, I’ll erase the posts from the server and leave up a static page noting the move.

I plan to move the entire site to a new hosting company within the month, so it was time to make the move, anyway.
