Key concepts: aphorisms, Viridian Ranking

Attention Conservation Notice: It's the usual ranking routine, rather groaning at the seams by now.

Entries in the Greenhouse Disaster Symbol contest: http://www.xnet.com/~wbrink/ggw.html http://www.wmblake.com/searedearth/ http://www.wmblake.com/toxicsun/ http://www.io.com/~stack/gds.html http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/bdw/earthglyph.htm This contest expires May 31, 2000.

People who send us a useful aphorism receive a valuable chevron <^> for their login name.

"Tolerably early in life I discovered that one of the unpardonable sins, in the eyes of most people, is for a man to go about unlabeled. The world regards such a person as the police do an unmuzzled dog." Thomas Henry Huxley.

"The best qualification of a prophet is to have a good memory." Lord Halifax.

"We need a fellow at the head who can stand the sound of a machine gun. The rabble need to get fear into their pants. We can't use an officer, because the people don't respect them any more. The best would be a worker who knows how to talk.... He doesn't need much brains, because politics is the stupidest business in the world, and every marketwoman in Munich knows more than the people in Weimar. I'd rather have a vain monkey who can give the Reds a juicy answer, and doesn't run away when people begin swinging table legs, than a dozen learned professors. He must be a bachelor, then we'll get the women."
Dietrich Eckart, Nazi prophet, Brennessel Cabaret, Schwabing, Munich, 1919

The Viridian Ranking System has been amended with a mouse and return key despite incipient carpal-tunnel. Scars, flaws, and imperfections add character and are an inherent part of the product.
