Words to ponder [Fritzworth]

Here's a quote to bear in mind as we wonder why so many idiot uncertain Republicans in Congress waffle when it comes to making the changes necessary to rescue our economic and our country:

"And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them." -- Niccolo Machiavelli

Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
Vasquez: No. Have you?
