"The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."
-Hubert Humphrey
For those of you who know me personally, you know I've been cranky this week. Not for any particular reason in general, just a lot of little annoyances that have gotten under my skin.
Now, with this said, you can understand how my feelings toward certain people/groups may turn quite sour with little provocation.
Under this category goes all people who remind me to be "open-minded" about issues that are just plain ridiculous and stupid.
I take this quote by G.K. Chesterton as my defense: "Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid."
