Ouch. I did not know that Gary posted like that.


I failed to make a perhaps important distinction. Those are not excerpts
from posts, they are the entire content of those posts. Personally, I
don't
have a problem with such posts, per se. That is, until the poster tries
to
make himself out to be Albert Shweitzer,

Albert Schweitzer - one my heros.

One of the great quotes of all time:

"When in the spring the withered gray of the fields gives way to a
carpet of green, this is because millions of shoots are springing up
anew from the roots. Our age must achieve spiritual renewal. It can do
so only in one way: the masses of the people must reflect upon the
nature of true goodness. Out of such reflection, new principles and
ideas will inevitably arise. As the trees bear the same fruit anew
year after year, so from generation to generation all worthwhile ideas
must be born anew in the thinking of mankind."


Very nice. I, on the other hand, am reminded of another quote, taken from
an episode from the old Dick Van Dyke Show. Rob Petrie and his friend Jerry
live next door to one another. Their kids have walkie talkies and talk to
one another from one house to another. One day the kids forget to turn off
their communication devices and Rob overhears his friend Jerry talking to
his wife about the Petries. Jerry expresses some honest criticisms of Rob's
human shortcomings and concludes by saying, "Well, he's certainly no Albert
Schweitzer."

The one that started all this dieting craze.


and Henry Kissinger, all rolled up into one.
