A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.

People usually believe anything that they are told early and often.

If a thing's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. (Lazarus Long)

Ayn Rand is a bloody socialist compared to me.

There is an old song which asserts 'the best things in life are free.' Not true! Utterly false! This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted...and get it without toil, without sweat, without tears. Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain.

But I contend that the disgusting behavior of many of their alleged 'holy men' relieves us of any intellectual obligation to take the stuff seriously. No amount of sanctimonious rationalization can make such behavior anything but pathological.

The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in.
