I claim no omniscience, but I reckon that if Mr. Twain were posting in this thread, you would be astounded at his opinions on the matters at hand.

wouldn't we all be astounded. not only because of the uniqueness and unpredictability of his views, but also because he'd be 170 years old.

Hoi! Boab!

This isn't the lounge, it's the pointless quotes thread in t'Drawing Room.

Please endeavour to remain on-topic

Meh, pointless...or inane enough to have rendered astute...the pointless?

Peace bd

Just pointless, plain and simple.

What confusing use of the sacred ellipsis.

Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger - Abbie Hoffman

I don't feel that quotes are pointless. I believe that by using quotes, one
can sum up a situation in a few words. (especially...when one is tired.)

However, I respect the earnest gravity of the Drawling Room and the situation at hand, and will limit my use of the inane to The Lounge.

Levity is overrated anyway.

I didn't say that all quotes are pointless. Merely the ones posted so far in this thread.

In fact, I've just thought of an apt one:

You say it best, when you say nothing at all -- Boyzone (or maybe Withcheese).

Hoi, my quotes are pure gold, rod boy.

"My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its office-holders."

Mark Twain

One must first have knowledge of that which begs one's loyalty; it helps also to know Loyalty, properly defined.

Mark Twain was possessed of a greater understanding of his country than most people today; he'd actually read the founding documents once or twice.

The institutions and office-holders have not, for the most part, changed.

BTW-

Ah, Kev mate.. you knew this was aimed directly at yourself and Hank

In my explanations to those that dont know what i mean...

If one does not criticise those in power when its known they are breaking the laws/rules, just because they belong to the party that you support... that is being Loyal to your Political Party, not your country.

It is the responsibility of those loyal to their country to bring all transgressors to account, not just those politically opposed to them.

For example:

I hear many grumblings about "Food for Oil", but none about many more missing Billions in a much smaller space of time from a known personality...and explanations are not sought.

OR

A member of the administration leaks the personal details of a CIA operative, and is not criticised at all, despite this leak being illegal and the type of leak would be against ANY countries interest.

HOWEVER... the opposition gets a blow job, and its all hell breaks loose..

This is loyalty to a PARTY, not a COUNTRY.

I find myself thinking those that do raise hell about these things in the USA, and did against Clinton too... to be the real US patriots.
