This is where I get far more personal.
I have no respect for anyone who says they've given up, or that they're not looking or that they're tired. That is to abrogate one's responsibility as a human being. -harlan ellison

From HL Mencken:
If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents,
he would promise them missionaries for dinner.

Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant.

To sum up: 1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute.
2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it.
3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride.

It would be interesting to have Mencken with us today.
Certainly, I'd love to see him as a keynote speaker at TAM6.
