    Ok, Matt, I admit it freely - I'm gonna 'flame' ya with some Nietzsche:

    "Man shall be trained for war and woman for the procreation of the warrior. All else is folly."

    He went further. In Thus Spake Zarathustra he exclaims: "Thou goest to woman? Do not forget thy whip!"

    Yup, good stuff.

    I AM SUPERWOMAN!

    it's common for the generation before, to be critical of the generation following. No, not all of our progressions have been for the better, but not all of yours were either

    "We have done nothing extraordinary, nothing contrary to human nature in accepting an empire when it was offered to us and then in refusing to give it up. Three very powerful motives prevent us from doing so - security, honor and self-interest. And we were not the first to act in this way. Far from it. It has always been a rule that the weak should be subject to the strong: and besides, we consider that we are worthy of our power." - Thucydides on the Athenian Empire

    Well, I have to admit I didn't trace it down, but I think it is rather accurate and actual, and at the moment I am glad there is a growing part of the media that questions national authorities.

    “It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.”- George Harrison

    “The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.” -Ivy Baker Priest, in Parade, 1958

    improve, be content to be thought foolish and
    stupid.' "- Dean, Serendipity
