Another thing on my self-improvement list: I've learned but still have not absorbed the lesson that quoting anyone brings down the weight of their own human baggage, and every human has folly and therefore baggage. <BR/> <BR/>The ad hominem impulse is simply too strong in human reasoning.<BR/><BR/>If I say Rush is funny and incisive, I get his baggage, too.
