LOL. PMP made a funny.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

My participation on this forum (and its predecessors) changed my mind on a number of issues as well. I started out as a libertarian on politics.com in 2003, shifted dramatically to the extreme right (basically a theocrat), and finally drifted to left-libertarian which is where I reside now. Since rejoining this forum in October 2010, I've also come to accept evolution. How I managed to get around the fact that 99.8% of natural scientists accept the theory is simply beyond me.
Religiously speaking, I consider myself more or less an agnostic.
I used to think people should have their hands chopped off for stealing, and that doctors who perform abortions should be executed. I've come a long ways since then.
