"Maturity is only a short break in adolescence. "
Jules Feiffer
"I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of a little baby when it wakes in the morning & coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle."

ÔÇ£We have now reached the point where every goon with a grievance, every bitter bigot, merely has to place the prefix, ÔÇÿI know this is not politically correct, butÔǪÔÇÖ in front of the usual string of insults in order to be not just safe from criticism, but actually a card, a lad, even a hero. Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smugÔÇØ

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
