Chuck Lorre Vanity Card #392 From what little I know of prehistory, man roamed the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years in small tribes — probably no more than two hundred people per group. During this time all wisdom was passed along according to the oral tradition. Everything you needed to know in order …

Set yourself on fire to change the world.
It must demand the greatest will power. It must demand selfless sacrifice. To set yourself on fire to bring attention to injustice. It still happens in our world in which we think everything is OK.

Government bureaucracy is keeping us down.
IMD just sent out promotion for the World Competitiveness Yearbook. The table here was highlighted. My beloved Hong Kong, where you can get things done, is at the top, but Ireland, mired in government sloth, is comparable to centrally controlled Mainland China.
