To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.
Sophy Burnham

Carolyn Ferguson
I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.
Edith Sitwell
The stupidity of people comes from having an answer to everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything... it seems to me that all over the world people nowadays prefer to judge rather than to understand, to answer rather than to ask, so that the voice of the novel can hardly be heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.
Milan Kundera

Hunter S. Thompson
Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity!

It's just plain racism, ... What else can you call it? It's not like all 25 players are Latinos, so you can't blame it all on the Latino players. It's just stupidity. It's definitely sad that there are still stupid people like that guy out there.
Edgardo Alfonzo
