FERTILIZER AS AN AID TO GROWTH
as tyler durden may have said, you are not your stance on iraq, you are not your ability to absorb news, you are not your ability to consume, you are not your morality, you are not your ability to condone the use of daisy cutters, you are not your ability to withstand daisy cutters. we are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

IDEAS
"If you believe in something your very belief renders you unqualified to do it. Your earnestness will come across. Your passion will show. Your enthusiasm will make everyone nervous. And your naivete will irritate. Which means that you will become suspect. Which means that you will be prone to disillusionment. Which means that you will not be able to sustain your belief in the face of the piranha fish which nibble away at your idea and your faith, til only the skeleton of your dream remains.
Which means that you have become a fanatic, or a fool, a joke, an embarrassment. The world - which is to say the powers that be - would listen to your ideas with a stiff smile on its face, then put up impossible obstacles, watch you finally give up your cherished idea, having mangled it beyond recognition, and after you slope away in profound discouragement it will take up your idea, dust it down, give it a new spin, and hand it over to someone who doesn't believe in it at all."
