One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
-Carl Sagan
Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are stupider.
-Plato
Oddly, submission to powerful, frightening, even terrible persons, like tyrants and generals, is not experienced as nearly so painful as is submission to unknown and uninteresting persons, which is what all luminaries of industry are.
-Nietzsche

- Bengt Holst is the so-called Scientific Director at Copenhagen Zoo, who ordered the public execution of a baby giraffe.
He should not in our opinion
be in charge of a zoo and we the undersigned believe he should stand
down or be removed from this post.
Three zoos, one in the UK,
one in Sweden and one in The Netherlands, offered to take Marius the
giraffe, a healthy, 18 month baby. The world is outraged that the zoo
went ahead with its plans to kill the healthy animal.
Holst said Marius needed to
be killed to protect the gene pool - yet the giraffe was offered many
homes which would have done this.
