Today's xkcd, the plans of the Up Goer Five, are a curiosity: having looked at them, I feel like I understand the concepts involved less. There's a certain degree of simplification that starts to make things less comprehensible, to me.
I was surprised to learn about the David Petraeus scandal, and disappointed. More disappointed than I ever would have imagined I'd be. The thing is, I'd respected Petraeus. I thought he seemed like a man of honour and integrity.
But no. He's an adulterer, and therefore an oathbreaker - and if you can't trust someone to keep the vow they made before their family, friends, and in many cases, God, in what situation can you trust their word? If their own families can't trust them, who can?
