High office teaches decision making, not substance. [It] consumes intellectual capital; it does not create it. Most high officials leave office with the perceptions and insights with which they entered; they learn how to make decisions but not what decisions to make.

The rights of one are as sacred as the rights of a million.

Our movement is of the working people, for the working people, by the working people. . . .There is not a right too long denied to which we do not aspire in order to achieve; there is not a wrong too long endured that we are not determined to abolish.

"Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vaccuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1.5 tons. "
unknown, Popular Mechanics, March 1949

4dk - who still remembers with great fondness, the Compaq laptop my better half had to schlep around for me because I couldn't even pick it up. So much for portable in the 80's. Of course my current lap top weighs 4.5 lbs. so I guess we have come a long way since the vision of the future in 1949.

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
