This is one of two letters in today's Columbus Dispatch

Every nation must suffer its fools but they are, after all, our fools. I believe it was Thomas Sowell who recently observed; some people are so busy being clever they don't have time to be intelligent.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
