Quote of the Day: On politicians' pusillinamity
"There has been too much shrugging of the shoulders [by too many politicians such as he]. He justifies his shrug ... [partly] because politicians are not only pusillanimous, but rightly so, their pusillanimity being merely a realisation of their actual impotence; ... the doctrine that statesmen must always act contrary to their convictions, when to do otherwise would lose them office, implies [however] that they are less easily replaceable than is really the case." ~ John Maynard Keynes, from his 'Essays in Biography'
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
