in the words of John Stuart Mill, "although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. Mario observes: Selma, In your pis...., ...er, intellectual contest with Dr. Barad, perhaps you may want to stay with the specifics of the discussion and eschew inappropriate quotes that have no relevence to the discussion? Re. your quote above, what else would you expect a mentally unstable liberal like John Stuart Mill to say? >From his biography on Wikipedia, "This intensive study however had injurious >effects on Mill's mental health, and state of mind. At the age of twenty[2] he >suffered a nervous breakdown. As explained in chapter V of his Autobiography, >this was caused by the great physical and mental arduousness of his studies >which had suppressed any feelings he might have developed normally in >childhood." Mill was so highly regarded by his contemporaries that when he died in Avignon, France in 1873, five people came to his burial. On the other hand, in the words of Winston Churchill, "Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains." Or, paraphrasing the words of modern political philosopher Ann Coulter, "If liberals had brains, they would be conservatives." So much for quoting the opinions of others.
