You enrich my day with your wit and wisdom Eric!
There is something to be said for somebody who does NOT wish to better themselves or learn something new.
I love your quote.

That's one of the reasons why I am now homeschooling. Arguments over whether or not Religion should be in schools... well, not just religion... Christianity. And how much money they can spend on sports are more important to the schools in KY than actual Academics. I got tired of hearing about how "Parents need to teach their kids Priorities" when they're telling me that my kid can't wear a Pagan symbol to school and forking out $150,000 for a Second Auditorium (Yes, the high school now has 2 HUGE auditoriums... for what, we have no idea... the office can't even tell us why). I am more worried about how my son is going to make it in the world than whether or not he knows how to quote the Bible... or any other Religious writings. I have yet to see someone get dinner because they knew John 3:16. At home he has access to music, art, computer technology... he can study the type of science he wants to study, as well as the history he wants to look into. Such as we just finished studying Beowulf... the history of it, where it comes from, as well as the literature of it. So for a final, we're going to go see the new Beowulf 3D at the Imax and see if there is anything historically wrong with it (which I've heard there is). For all the things he can find that is wrong with it and what he can find right, he'll earn his grade... Schools will not teach this sort of thing to the kids anymore... and I refuse to allow my son to fall behind because Religious nuts want to take over the PUBLIC school system to teach their kids something they don't have time to do themselves.

If you turn it upside down the structure may actually support it better along with the air inside. Add hot air and you may have a balloon and be able to fly.
It all depends on the way you look at it!

I've never heard of that saying before. Makes perfect sense though. I like that quote.

Right, but at time it is very difficult to move a overfilled sack.And thus we must be balanced.
