For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Serbian miners discover kryptonite.

Fictional or not, Superman had better watch out. We all know that kryptonite doesn't harm Earthlings, but it does horrible things to Kal-el. According to the Associated Press, it can be found in Serbia:

LONDON (AP) — A mineral recently discovered in Serbia has the same composition as kryptonite — the fictional substance that robs Superman of his powers — the British Museum said Tuesday.

When I first read this, I wondered, "does that mean the recently discovered mineral is fictional too?"

"Towards the end of my research I searched the Web using the mineral's chemical formula, sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide, and was amazed to discover that same scientific name written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luthor from a museum in the film Superman Returns," Stanley said.

I guess the British government had better put an around the clock alert out to keep Lex Luthor away from the Natural History Museum where they researched this mineral.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. And sometimes they mesh in such interesting yet coincidental ways
