your kick ass quote

[Simply Joel]

The bold large print is due to failing eyesight... not an urge to shout.

Idealism is based on big ideas. And, as anybody who has ever been asked "What's the big idea?" knows, most big ideas are bad ones.
O'Rourke, P.J.

[cowboyangel]

well..you need some glasses and I need some dictionaries

[Simply Joel]

"I wonder how many of the people who profess to believe in the leveling ideas of collectivism and egalitarianism really just believe that they themselves are good for nothing. I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit."

PJ O'Rourke

was there a quote in there?

Who said this?
The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be
vastly greater than that of any other animals. Some of their most
esteemed inventions have no other apparent purpose, for example, the
dinner party of more than two, the epic poem, and the science of
metaphysics.

my favorite quote is
"Cites?" from guess who??????????????

[Badger]

In a conversation today on NPR where someone mentioned that a particular author in describing women's relationships with their mother's (and the friction often inherent) said: "Mothers look at their daughtes and see a replacemnt. Daughters look at their moms and see their destiny."

Thought it was interesting in a arching sort of way - especially when I see my sister relate to mom in certain ways and at certain times.
