"Collect," please stop inserting right wing points of views into articles. It discredits Misplaced Pages and discredits you as a contributor to Misplaced Pages. You clearly have a revisionists agenda that is inappropriate to the mission of Misplaced Pages.
Background: sciences, economics, and anything remotely collectible. Started online in 1982. Started first "blog" by current standards in 1987 ("Today's Mail" in the Coin/Stamp Forum of CompuServe). First Internet blog circa 1992 (in CompuServe's Ourworld pages).
Firm believer in facts as opposed to opinions, no matter how others might spin them.
Easily distracted by puns.
I do not react well to gameplaying with quotes.
++Ars Poetica==
- Politics
- and Poetry
- Seldom mix.
- The pressing issues of out time
- Very seldom end in rhyme.
- So from fiery politics,
- The poets turn aside
- And wisely flee the tawdry mix
- And go. And run. And hide.
- They let the campaign sloganeers
- Push their wares into our ears,
- Turn our brains into green slime.
- Ever offering a simple fix
- To war and poverty and crime,
- For city folks and rural hicks
- One slogan will suffice,
- 'Tis simple - "Just be nice."
Adages
"Any sufficiently witty and clever remark will be attributed to Mark Twain, even if you thought of it yourself." —Samuel Clemens (attributed by Ali'i)

If a country changes its currency, prices will all be rounded up and sizes of goods will all be rounded down.
A collector is anyone who has one of something, but would be perfectly happy to buy another one whether he needs it or not.
Sometimes
Sometimes even editors who lock horns can show respect for each other. It works a lot better than name-calling and posts on others' talk pages like the proverbial gossips at the back fence.
