"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
…for more of this:
“…An unborn baby in America is 125 times more likely to be murdered by its own mother than a US soldier has of being killed by an insurgent in Iraq! If our soldiers died at the rate we slaughter unborn children, in the 3 years and 9 months of the Iraq war we’d now have 140,625 dead, not just 2,415.>
Let me draw your attention to the comment quoted in the header of this blog:
“An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society that scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.â€Ââ€â€John Gardner

I want you to ponder a question from left field. Have you ever known someone so in love with their self-image that they simply cannot confront their own flaws? At all? Yeh, yeh, besides jean Fraud Kerry, Teddy “I’ll get the lifeguard!” Kennedy and all their ilk in the political class.
But you know the kind of people I mean. The kind of people who are so willfully blind to their own character that they’d cheat at solitaire. *sheesh* Who does that? Ya cheat at solitaire, the only person you’re cheating is yourself.
Yeh. That kind of person.
