Not a bad phillosophy
Michael Baird July 9th, 2007 print
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.

My five year old daughter is starting kindergarten next year, and I’m a little concerned because they only teach designing a buildin, butchering a hog, and pitching manure. Now, I have to go out and find an after-school program that teaching conning a ship.
Now that is some funny stuff right there.
