Why #45 (#LazyDonald) Was Destined To Be A Failed Presidency

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.  The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.
—  Thomas J. Watson
[Actually, “just” thinking can not settle ALL of the world’s problems.  Compromise and diplomacy are also often required…  More reasons #IncompetentDonald never really had a leg to stand on.  —  KMAB]

—  Victor Hugo
[I try sleep, myself…  But walking has worked for me, as well.  —  KMAB]

There’s no universal way to think about things, so I can’t claim that someone else is thinking about something wrongly if they don’t think about it the way I do.

A Burning Passion To Teach Freedom

Some books leave us free and some books make us free.

There are worse crimes than burning books.  One of them is not reading them.

My sister has been a teacher for over thirty years and she still loves teaching.  And, yes, she is still passing me books to read.
Happy Birthday to my big sister, Carmen!  Hopefully, there will be many more birthdays (and lessons to help me grow) to come…  Love  ya —  KMAB]
