Thoughts on Obama

Some random thoughts on the inauguration of American President Obama:
Aldous Huxley: At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.

Henry Brooks Adam: It is always good men who do the most harm in the world.

Mary Wollstonecraft: Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil. No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.

Rene Descartes: The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.

William Penn: To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.
But then again, I am not a huge fan of change.

  1. Oh him... He's just a narcissist. Lies and knows just what carot to wave, and craves admiration, and often gets highly offended when criticized.Ugh.

  2. I despise this son-of-a-bitch. If he were to die, I'd take the rest of the week off work and go on a booze fueled celebratory bender. It'd be worth going to the funeral and setting the corpse on fire just to put it out by pissing on it.

  3. My, my. the other comments in this thread are inspiring. Anyway, it's time to elect a woman president, and it's time to elect an avowed sociopath as president. The author of this blog . . . what's not to like?
