Question Authority

Thanks for finding and sharing this, Pugs.

It reminds me of the comment by St. Augustine regarding
the question of what was God doing before the creation of
the Universe.

He replied that God was probably spending the time thinking
up punishments for those who ask such questions.

Yes, don't think, folks, just obey.
