do so to compensate for avoiding freedom of thought.

Inductive Reasoning

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck,

that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

Like A Fish Needs A Barnacle

Bloomsday is observed on 16 June each year around the world, to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and to relive the events in his novel Ulysses, that took place on the same day in 1904 in Dublin, Ireland.

Though he wrote the book in later years, Joyce enshrined the date 16 June 1904 in literary history as a commemoration of the day he first 'stepped out' with the love of his life Nora Barnacle.
