The past is like using your rear-view mirror. It's good to glance back and know what's there; but stare too long, and you'll miss what's in front of you.

"Generalizations are a blatant display of ignorance, I stay away from posters and discussions that use them." ~ Mr Pecs himself....The Topless Wonder...PettyOfficerJ ~
“I’d like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences, because that’s all you ever hear about in this country, is our differences. That’s all the media and the politicians are ever talking about, the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other, so that they, the rich, can run off with all the [bleep] money. Fairly simple thing, happens to work. You know, anything different, that’s what they’re going to talk about. Race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality. Anything you can do, keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank. You know how I describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the [bleep] out of the middle class. Keep them showing up at those jobs.” -George Carlin
"If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties." -- Sir Francis Bacon
"On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time." George Orwell
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. - Epicurus (341-270 BC)
