Watching McCain's speech, two different Einstein quotes came to mind. For McCain himself:
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
And for the crowd:
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
Other than that, I'm going to miss that hour of my life.

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there." ------ ~Thomas Carlyle, On Heroes and Hero Worship, 1841 |
