63075 Usenet was founded by people who took everything everyone else doesn't care about too seriously. -- Lee Bumgarner
63076 The postman hits! You have new mail|Nethack|http://www.win.tue.nl/games/roguelike/nethack/
63077 It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. - Alfred Adler
63078 Prejudices, it is well known, are most dificult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones. -- Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre
63079 [A demagogue is] one who maximizes his appeal to the frustrated, to the dispossessed of the earth. He offers vivid and dramatic, simplistic solutions to all of life's problems. -- Eugene Brussell
63080 How many crimes are committed simply because their authors could not endure being wrong. -- Albert Camus, The Fall
63081 Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts apathy to one of brotherly love. -- Frank Moore
63082 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way. -- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
63083 Usenet is like tetris for people who can read
63084 Fanaticism is just one step away from barbarism. -- Denis Diderot

63086 Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills and a conviction that there are identifiable villians back of it all. -- John W. Gardner, No Easy Victories
63087 The end cannot justify the means for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced. -- Aldus Huxley, Ends and Means
63088 If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, his moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him. For if he remains alive, he will become more and more corrupt. This is a surgical operation commanded by God the all powerful. -- Ayatollah Khomeini
63089 The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. -- Martin Luther King, Where do We go from Here
63090 The tendency of the casual mind is to pick out or stumble upon a sample which supports or defies its prejudices, and then to make it representative of a whole class. -- Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion
63091 Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. -- Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
63092 The whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought. In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed would be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. -- George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
63093 A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. -- Jonathan Swift
63094 AUP: Acceptable Use Policy
63095 It is likewise to be observed that this society (of lawyers) hath a peculiar chant and jargon of their own, that no other mortal can understand, and wherein all their laws are written, which they take special care to multiply; whereby they have wholly confounded the very essence of truth and falsehood. -- Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels|Gulliver's Travels|http://www.jaffebros.com/lee/gulliver/

63102 Vir, intelligence has nothing to do with politics! -- Londo Mollari
63103 I don't need to compromise my principles, because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. -- Calvin
63104 In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. -- Carl Sagan
63105 Chew: A component of network lag, chew is the percentage of packets that are 'eaten' by the network connection. Ideally no packets should be lost, but the Internet is often anything but ideal.
63106 But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. -- Carl Sagan
