"One of the commonest things to do with savings is to lend them to some Government. In view of the fact that the bulk of the public expenditure of most civilized Governments consists in payment for past wars or preparation for future wars, the man who lends his money to a Government is in the same position as the bad men in Shakespeare who hire murderers. The net result of the man's economical habits is to increase the armed forces of the State to which he lends his savings. Obviously it would be better if he spent the money, even if he spent it in drink or gambling. " Bertrand has interesting view points.. the below is one of my favs..

I was in first year of engineering and had just come to Pune from my native place Kirloskarwadi. I was only vaguely familiar with the name Bertrand Russell and so picked up the book when I saw it. A friend who was with me sort of ridiculed me about reading dense philosophy. I never quiet read the complete thing. I guess I was not up to reading it at that time. I still remember the cover picture of Bertrand Russell smoking a pipe (if I remembering correctly). It is strange how things read so long back still stay hidden somewhere and pop up like this. Maybe I will read it again now. Thanks This brought back memories of the British Library in Pune where I found the autobiography and read the prologue in the reading room.
