Don’t accept the condition of understanding that you must be
conditioned to accept what you don’t understand.
How many kicks out of the garden make the seat of learning harden?
Even on the path of least resistance, a little padding wouldn’t be
imprudent.

paired fictions masquerading as facts.
Swine flu vaccination is a pig in a poke or a poke for a pig.

After talking yourself into a hole, you’ll discover your shovel isn’t a
ladder.
