Quote: Liberals can only win if they get the dead, illegal and imaginary to vote them in. That's the spirit. Good ol' pointless name calling. So much easier than thinking. Like if I say, hey, you're just an pussy who wets his sheets thinking al Qaeda is going to hurt him in his sleep, and so is too afraid to vote liberal because you're a coward who would rather give up freedom to be secure rather than have the courage to die free, it wouldn't accomplish anything. I might feel better. But it hasn't created any productive dialogue or advanced anyone's understanding. Try to be a little less pointless in the future if you don't mind.
__________________ Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
- Bertrand Russell
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.

"Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."
