Righteous rant seen on a trades forum-;-
“I’m so tired of complacent witlings who smirk about their inability to un-stop a drain, flip a breaker, or change oil in a car I could puke. Like their incompetence makes them superior somehow.

I got the slogan: “Yes we can” but it refers to a commitment to greater understanding and capability of every America.
Ever read “The Notebooks of Lazarus Long” by Robert A Heinlein? Here’s one I’ve always liked:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
Another quote “Never confuse wishful thinking with hard fact. Facts you don’t like are still facts. Facts you do like may not be facts at all.”
