“The safety pin of hand grenades would be pulled and the grenades would be placed in glass Ball Mason jars which would hold back the safety lever. The safety lever would release upon the shattering of the jar and the grenade would detonate. This particular Improvised Explosive Device was popular with chopper crews in Vietnam, who would use them as improvised anti-personnel cluster bombs during raids. They were easy to dump out of the flight door over a target, and the thick Ball Mason glass was resistant to premature shattering in the air.” —

“I don’t see how whether it’s immoral or moral has anything to do with whether it’s art or not. Art doesn’t have to look good, and an artist doesn’t need to be a good person.” —failix  (via synthemesc)

“The failure of human beings to meet their own ideals does not disprove or discredit those ideals. The fact that some are cowards does not make courage a myth. The fact that some are faithless does not make fidelity a joke. All moral standards create the possibility of hypocrisy. But I would rather live among those who recognize standards and fail to meet them than among those who mock all standards as lies. In the end, hypocrisy is preferable to decadence.” —Michael Gerson - Mark Souder and the case for grace

Yes, yes, double and triple yes.  I’m glad there are “me” clones out there who can put this stuff into words.
