Quote:

The man's a book burner.

Is it okay, ed, if I assert that you have syphilis?

@spendius,

Assert all you like. There's no basis for it. You, on the other hand, want to deprive the world of science books about evolution and the like.

Wow! What does that even mean? A std really?

I know that ed. There is no basis for your assertion that I'm a book burner either. I don't mark books even so sacred do I consider them.

I do not want to deprive the world of anything except bloody counter-jumpers using pop science to grab power. And if you had some idea about what will happen if they do you would support me,

"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use."

@Germlat,

The feelings of which others? No doubt it sounds fine at a prominent banker's ball in a Fifth Avenue mansion where an attractive husband might be hooked.

Some might say that Mr Post was being well mannered towards the chorus girls and fledgling actresses he was friendly with. One is not supposed to refuse a lady's offer.

It's okay to keep out of the way of them though.

It would be good to have dates for Reagan quotes. After all, he was senile at the time he first took office as the president.

Very true... But he was on target about this one. I don't need a diagnosis ...content says it all.

Fake friends are like shadows, they follow you in the sun, but leave your side when it gets dark.

That was Orwell's position I think vonny. There are darker shades of dark.
