4. That's a version of something Albert Einstein said..
"The problems we face today can not be solved on the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

9. That reminds me of something I was thinking today...
that Conservatives have no ideas of their own, only Liberal ideas that are no longer cutting-edge or are no longer useful.

10. You may not know this, but most ethanol comes from corn.
Also, I heard that there are "panels" that can convert sunlight into electricity. It's called "Solar" energy.

Bush is so cute when he comes out of a briefing.

7. It reminds me of the definition of stupidity...
Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

14. No wonder I confused the two...
The noun stupidity has 2 meanings:

Meaning #1: a poor ability to understand or to profit from experience
Antonym: intelligence (meaning #1)


Meaning #2: a stupid mistake
Synonyms: betise, folly, foolishness, imbecility

12. I saw one a few months back that I thought conveyed my sentiments

"I LOVE MY COUNTRY, BUT FEAR MY GOVERNMENT."
