So we have progressed to the point where we can move politicians around faster than light. I'm not sure I see the advantage.

The uplifters are forever running around telling blockheads they would do better if they would believe in themselves. But they already do. That is why they are blockheads.

If you're right, and nobody really cares what's out there, I wonder whether we're even worth saving.

The secret to a successful career in virtually any field is good public relations. Forget results. Forget the facts. Perception is all that matters.

There is nothing that overwhelms the senses quite like an unwelcome silence.

Idiots are not responsible for what they do. The real guilt falls on rational people who sit on their hands while morons run wild. You can opt out if you want to. Play it safe. But if you do, don't complain when the roof comes down.

Man has always seen himself the peak of creation. The part of the universe that thinks. The purpose for it all. It's no doubt a gratifying view, but the universe may have a different opinion.
