+After living in New York, you trust nobody, but you believe everything.
+Just in case.

+If science were explained to the average person in a way that is accessible
+and exciting, there would be no room for pseudoscience.  But there is a kind
+of Gresham's Law by which in popular culture the bad science drives out the
+good.  And for this I think we have to blame, first, the scientific community
+ourselves for not doing a better job of popularizing science, and second, the
+media, which are in this respect almost uniformly dreadful.  Every newspaper
+in America has a daily astrology column.  How many have even a weekly
+astronomy column?  And I believe it is also the fault of the educational
+system.  We do not teach how to think.  This is a very serious failure that
+may even, in a world rigged with 60,000 nuclear weapons, compromise the human
+future.

+Was there a time when dancers with their fiddles
+In children's circuses could stay their troubles?
+There was a time they could cry over books,
+But time has set its maggot on their track.
+Under the arc of the sky they are unsafe.
+What's never known is safest in this life.
+Under the skysigns they who have no arms
+Have cleanest hands, and, as the heartless ghost
+Alone's unhurt, so the blind man sees best.

+A man sank into the psychiatrist's couch and said, "I have a
+terrible problem, Doctor.  I have a son at Harvard and another son at
+Princeton; I've just gifted each of them with a new Ferrari; I've got
+homes in Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, and a co-op in New York; and I've
+got a thriving ranch in Venezuela.  My wife is a gorgeous young actress
+who considers my two mistresses to be her best friends."
+	The psychiatrist looked at the patient, confused.  "Did I miss
+something?  It sounds to me like you have no problems at all."
+	"But, Doctor, I only make $175 a week."
