More Words of Wisdom from RAH...
... for some of the whinier residents of the Big Easy, especially the ones screeching for help into TV cameras like the rest of the world owed them something:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Robert Heinlein
It is called "self-reliance." It is what you have if you are worth a damn.
