I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [iChat] PSC reviews, Thomas Jefferson, and You

I can't live without books, but I can live without slaves, which does
give me a bit of an edge over Tom, IMHO.

By all means, support libraries, but don't do it because of appeals to
authority, particularly when it comes to the founding fathers, in
general a pretty despicable bunch..

Do it because you're good enough, you're smart enough, and, doggonit,
people like you!
