the above is a quote from a book, a real good book, that carries a lot of
smart advice for today's world even though it is a work of fiction... IIRC,
it is a book by Orsen Scott Card... at this time, there are two in the
series but i do not recall either of their names... damned good book and
very enlightening if one reads them with an eye on what is going on in
today's world...
