The easiest way to get brainwashed is to be born.

Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.

I read at least one periodical every month by a political group I dislike - to keep some sense of balance. The overwhelming stupidity of political movements is caused by the fact that political types never read anything but their own gang's agit-prop.

I've recently noticed "as if for the first time" that when people pray they always look "upward" - i.e. perpendicular to whatever place they're standing - or kneeling or groveling. I deduce that they conceive of their "god" as topologically isomorphic to a huge donut, about a thousand miles wider than Earth.

Like what you like, enjoy what you enjoy, and don't take crap from anybody.

There's a great universe just next door.
