Flimsy Sanity

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Heard on North Dakota NPR

National Guard people can get $1,000 for getting someone to enlist and another $1,000 if said "mark" makes it through basic training. Kind of like bounty hunting.

    Good Lord! How callous is that? And what does it say of the character of a person willing to engage in that kind of recruiting activity? If the "recruiter" is gung ho, the payoff would seem unnecessary; if he is not, the whole operation seems tawdry, venal, and dishonest.

    Are we proud yet?
