"He who is offended when offence is not intended,
is a fool; he who is offended when offence is intended, is a greater fool.”
-Brigham Young (Someone called me up to ask if I'm a Mormon. I'll
crib Woody Guthrie's answer to a similar question that appeared on a government
form. "What religion are you?" "All." "You can't put 'all.'"
"OK, none." "You can't put 'none.'" "All or none." Similarly,
ask me a question about race: "human." We stand on the shoulders
of all of our ancestors. Wisdom can emerge from all kinds of contexts.)
