This blog is dedicated to Major-General Stanley from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance"- a cultured man of military power and societal worth whose education seems to come at the expense of any truly useful knowledge.
As we continue to evolve in a world where we all become more informed but less educated, may the best of us never end up like the good General.
And remember: We cannot rest on our laurels. Our world, and our times, change too fast to sit back and coast on our accomplishments. We must, if not for the strength of our standing then for the security of our descendants, keep going forward.
