George Bernard Shaw...

Might have been a vegetarian, socialist and an all-around crank, but he was definitely quite hard-headed and, like so many of these types, knew full well how best to look out for Number One. I certainly can't argue with the following sentiment:

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get. Where there is no ventilation fresh air is declared unwholesome... Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.


Think: a) cubicle; b) Processed food products; c) One car, one driver; d) feminism, creationism, TIME magazine's half-face mug shots, race-class-gender-theory, video screens at gas stations, inadequate but ADA-compliant restrooms, "issues" when you mean difficulties or problems, neo-Nazis, motivational seminars...
