“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

Paul Krugman cracks me up. He thinks the only ideologues are conservatives. Here is a paragraph from today's New York Times op-ed column:

Liberals don't rule America, mainly because their ideas are bankrupt, but if they did, the following would be true:

You see, America is ruled by liberals, and they have a private obsession: they believe that more government, not less, is always the answer. And their faith persists even when the evidence clearly points to a public sector gone bad.

Hilarious! The man is becoming a caricature of himself.
