running school opportunity
Put the money into schools. Rational ones that train young minds to think, to demand that persons in authority show the evidence for the ideas they push. Do that, and we won't need to provide a world for the Sacred Brethren who, given the opportunity, would run everyone else off the planet.
queens recognition flaws
The queen of virtues is the recognition of one's own flaws.
goal safety achieve
One could not always put safety up front as the prime goal. Do that, and who would ever achieve anything of note?
dream people chasing
What would happen is that people like Geroge and Alyx would grow old and die chasing a dream. Although there were probably worse things to do with one's life.
ideas people solitude
Solitude is only a good idea if you have the right people along to share it.
moving beer water
There's not much to be said for sightseeing. You go somewhere that has a waterfall. You have a beer, watch the water go over the edge, and move on. Tours are all the same. In the end, the only thing that matters is the beer.
decision information made
Decisions are always made with insufficient information. If you really knew what was going on, the decision would make itself.
bystanders civilization soldier
The measure of a civilization is in the courage, not of its soldiers, but of its bystanders.
mind lines doe
Boundaries have no existence save on charts or in small minds. Nature does not draw lines.
successful careers perception
The secret to a successful career in virtually any field is good public relations. Forget results. Forget the facts. Perception is all that matters.
moving light politician
So we have progressed to the point where we can move politicians around faster than light. I'm not sure I see the advantage.
nice problem tradition
The Peacekeepers had a tradition that every problem had a solution. It was a nice slogan. Wasn't true, but it sounded good.
school boys reality
An optimist is somebody who thinks our various political and social systems, schools and churches, support groups and Boy Scout troops, jury trials and congressional committees, are on the up-and-up. That they are intended for the benefit of the members. The reality is that they are designed to keep everyone in line.
running real fall
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.
