Quote of the day

“People who explain how wrong it is all going and who have reasons why and WHO AREN’T PUTTING IT RIGHT are the real crazy people in the universe. The only ones crazier than they are, are the ones who are quite happy to have everything fail and go wrong with no protest from them.

“Fortunately there are a few around who DO make things go right in spite of everything and anyone.”

—L. Ron Hubbard
