Ya think? Anyone who has never read Plato, maybe. Or much else, for that matter:
'A gadfly is a person who interferes with the status quo of a society or community by posing novel, potently upsetting questions, usually directed at authorities. The term is originally associated with the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, in his defense when on trial for his life."
Plato's "Apology," which recounts the trial of Socrates, is immortal. It has lasted over 2,000 to date, and won't go away just because some young-uns aint read it.
