Hubris
Main Entry: hu·bris
Pronunciation: \ˈhyü-brəs\
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek hybris
Date: 1884
: exaggerated pride or self-confidence
— hu·bris·tic \hyü-ˈbris-tik\ adjective
We are watching a stunning documentary by that name on MSNBC. All about the reasoning (or lack thereof) that led this country into the nine-year war in Iraq. Narrated by Rachel Maddow, it promises to be fascinating... In a monumentally sad, "I told you so" sort of way.
It's been raining here for days. The gulches are roaring and the catchment tank is spilling over. So, although weed pulling isn't optimum, I've been canning like mad. Yesterday's batch was local Rangpur lime and ginger marmalade. (Rangpur limes are orange.)
