| | #2911 | | "It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God but to
create him."
-Arthur C. Clarke
| | | #2912 | | "Why should we subsidize intellectual curiosity?"
-Ronald Reagan
| | | #2913 | | "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are lots of old things
we don't know yet."
-Ambrose Bierce
| | | #2914 | | "Plan to throw one away. You will anyway."
- Fred Brooks, "The Mythical Man Month"
| | | #2915 | | You need tender loving care once a week - so that I can slap you into shape.
- Ellyn Mustard
| | | #2916 | | The Middle East is certainly the nexus of turmoil for a long time to come --
with shifting players, but the same game: upheaval. I think we will be
confronting militant Islam -- particularly fallout from the Iranian
revolution -- and religion will once more, as it has in our own more
distant past -- play a role at least as standard-bearer in death and mayhem.
- Bobby R. Inman, Admiral, USN, Retired, former director of Naval Intelligence,
vice director of the DIA, former director of the NSA, deputy director of
Central Intelligence, former chairman and CEO of MCC.
| | | #2917 | | ...One thing is that, unlike any other Western democracy that I know of,
this country has operated since its beginnings with a basic distrust of
government. We are constituted not for efficient operation of government,
but for minimizing the possibility of abuse of power. It took the events
of the Roosevelt era -- a catastrophic economic collapse and a world war --
to introduce the strong central government that we now know. But in most
parts of the country today, the reluctance to have government is still
strong. I think, barring a series of catastrophic events, that we can
look to at least another decade during which many of the big problems
around this country will have to be addressed by institutions other than
federal government.
- Bobby R. Inman, Admiral, USN, Retired, former director of Naval Intelligence,
vice director of the DIA, former director of the NSA, deputy directory of
Central Intelligence, former chairman and CEO of MCC.
