You Can Avoid Reality, But You Cannot Avoid the Consequences of Avoiding Reality
Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982)

[SveinHa]

Har samlet noen gullkorn opp gjennom tidene og her er noen aktuelle:

• Paul Kingsnorth: Destruction minus carbon equals sustainability.
• Audun Myskja: Det er ikkje lurt å outsource ansvaret for si eiga helse til helsevesenet.
• Mahatma Gandhi, 1869-1948: Vaksinasjon er en barbarisk praksis og en av de mest fatale av alle vrangforestillinger som er aktuelle i vår tid. Samvittighetsfulle motstandere av vaksinasjon bør om nødvendig stå alene mot hele verden for å forsvare sin overbevisning.
• Kris Kristofferson: Try to tell the truth and stand your ground, don’t let the bastards get you down.

Walk The Talk

En interessant sangtekst, som et apropos til "gir man fanden lillefingeren, tar han snart hele hånda"... :

Al Wilson

The Snake
On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

Denne kan det være verd å reflektere litt over:

"Folk tilgir deg for at du tar feil, men de tilgir deg aldri for at du har rett – særlig ikke hvis hendelsene viser at du har rett, samtidig som de viser at de tar feil."

Thomas Sowell amerikansk økonom
