In the words of G.K. Chesterton,
"Let all the babies be born. Then let us drown those we do not like."

In a world as irrational as ours, The Onion, Colbert and The Daily Show seem the only news sources capable of grasping the scope of postmodern insanity. One must either laugh or cry, and laughter leaves more room for hope.
"One must either laugh or cry, and laughter leaves more room for hope."
Yeah. On that exact note, Chesterton also wrote that Jesus was on a suicidal mission to convince everyone of life's joyousness. That will make you chuckle or induce crippling melancholy and sadness.

"..suicidal mission to convince everyone of life's joyousness."

"The person who is really in revolt is the optimist, who generally lives and dies in a desperate and suicidal effort to persuade other people how good they are."
