Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

A lot of people had things to say.... of very little value, except to entertain certain segments of earth's very diverse population. 
All of those published works and if this was the most profound quote available from him, he clearly lacked wisdom and had nothing to read I could possibly care about.

Take that author of sorcerers and faraway castles, please.  I did not read a single page and never will.   Reality is of far greater interest to me and the quote of Heinlein you posted was very far from reality.

@ChemEngrMBA

I actually feel sorry for you.

"The NEA represents, and presumably reflects the mentality of, the people who are delivering -- inflicting? -- public education.  That is as frightening, in its way, as any foreign threat." --George Will

NEA is the National Education (sic) Association.  It is one of the two largest unions in the United States and donates millions of dollars to the Democrat Party, which it owns.  A few percentage points of its donations go to Republicans who promise to increase funding for today's version of "education," including transsexual grooming and socialist brainwashing.

When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity. - Dale Carnegie

“The Christian religion is above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed    in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity.” – John Adams

“The general principles on which the Fathers achieved independence were the only principles in which that beautiful assembly of young gentlemen could unite …the general principles of Christianity.” – John Adams

Pity. Many lessons are told as parables, often using fiction as the delivery device.

There are few ills and fewer solutions not mentioned in fiction somewhere, and the devices of today were often the dreams of writers of fantasy, as will be the devices commonplace in the future.

"Experts and the educated elite have...replaced what worked with
what sounded good. Society was far more civilized before they took
over our schools, prisons, welfare programs, police departments
and courts. It's high time we ran these people out of our lives
and went back to common sense." --Walter Williams

@ChemEngrMBA

The problem with that is "common sense" ain't  so common anymore.

Assuming,of course,that politicians who have to "cut deals" to get legislation passed that will get them re-elected,even based their voting decisions on common sense to start with.

"Professional Politcs" is a VERY "hard-ball game".

What legislation?  They write it AFTER they pass it.

This is America,and you are free to believe anything  you want to believe,as long as it doesn't cause harm to anyone else.

Of course,that will probably change if you do what you say you will do and not vote if Trump is the candidate.

You can PROBABLYY hold prayer meetings in the labor camp,comrade.

[ChemEngrMBA]

My quotations of Sir Lionel Luckhoo and A. Simon Greenleaf obviously triggered two atheists.
Fortunately I have no idea what they said as both are on my Ignore List for their past insults and ignorance.
If I were insulting and ignorant, why would they want to read what I have to say?
Inquiring minds want to know.

It ain't mere belief. It is the evidence of history that convinced me, from the start... History that you are ignorant of.

I wonder if that will be like when I was housebound for over a year, and my business destroyed because of Tumpy...

Sounds pretty much the same to me. So hell no, Tumpy will never see a vote from me.

@roamer_1

Ahhh,so your business failed,and you are blaming it on Trump because NONE of your decisions and/or the economic climate at that time had ANYTHING to do with  the failure.

Gotcha!

[ChemEngrMBA]

Would you go away, Karen and Karen?  Stop following me around, "sniffing my underwear" as Thomas Sowell would say.


Karen (slang)


Karen is a term used as slang typically for a middle-class white woman who is perceived as emotional, petulant and demanding.

That's true. He shut it OFF. He did that. He shut down the ports, and restricted interstate shipping. Without that, parts systems ground to a dead stop. No one else did that. That was an administrative decision, entirely federal, using federal authority over ports and ports of entry.

Especially from China because of HIS exclusive foreign policy.

No two ways about it.

He did that, with Fauxi right by his side.

I am but one example among thousands that lost their livelihood, being 'nonessential'.
No way in hell that should be rewarded. Ever.
