People surprise you, Frank, with just how fuckin stupid they are.

Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops - many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked. And it will be New Orleans - though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground.

"You'll never take me alive!" - Perhaps. But either way, they're still going to take you.

Smart people have the brains, but stupid people have the balls

I'm allergic to stupidity.

When we know as much about people as hog specialists know about hogs, we'll be better off.
