Quotes of the day
“Think you can, or think you can't; either way, you're right.”
-- Henry Ford
"Americans always do the right thing... eventually."
-- Winston Churchill
"The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance can be easily cured by education. Stupidity, in contrast, is incurable. The most common form of stupidity is an acute attack of extremely limited duration; the canonical example is locking the car keys inside the car. But for some, stupidity is a chronic disease of lifetime duration. There is little we can do for those who inherited it genetically but pity them and treat them gently. But the acquired form -- the contagious memetic form spread through cultural cues and negative reinforcement -- is one of the most insidious and dangerous diseases known to humankind."
