Someone --- Ben Franklin? --- famously said, "Tis better to keep one's mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
To test that theory, I'll be speaking about For the Love of Murphy's at 7 p.m. Wednesday to the Mifflin Township Historical Society at Barnes & Noble in Homestead.
Admission is free, and in honor of the historic location, the first 50 people will get to shoot at a barge full of Pinkertons, and will then get their heads bashed in by the Coal & Iron Police.
Try Proverbs 17:28, as written in the King James Version …
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
