It is a pity that stupidity cannot be made fatal!

The Darwin Awards would be full of good news stories then.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal and execution is carried out automatically and without pity."

Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"

"Superior leaders get things done with very little motion.
They impart instruction not through many words, but through a few deeds.
They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all.
They are catalysts, and though things would not get done as well if
they were not there, when they succeed they take no credit.
And, because they take no credit, credit never leaves them."
~ Lao-Tzu ~

"When "the common good" of a society is regarded as something apart from and superior
to the individual good of its members, it means that the good of some men takes precedence
over the good of others, with those others consigned to the status of sacrificial animals"

It's hardly ever that I agree with you but this time I have to say, "you're right on the money here".

[edit] You'd think he could have a little self control and at least try to keep his quotes in his own thread that he named quotes...[/edit]

I give you that you don't have to quote anyone, and still can be on topic in this thread.
