“The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.”

AHA ! Alan Alexander ! I knew him only as A.A. when a bunch of 20-somethings used to read Winnie Ther Pooh. ( Don't you know what 'Ther" means, asked Christopher Robin ?" )

Thanks for opening a new door to a precious old place.

And the 4th rate mind votes for Nancy Pelosi.
