“”An apropos quote might be from Samuel Clements aka Mark Twain:
The trouble aint that there is too many fools, but that the lightning aint distributed right.
I have never heard that - I love it!!!! It must have gotten lost in all his remarks..
Twain, in his later years was asked for his opinion by newspaper reporters routinely and would answer them almost instantly with wit and wisdom. I wonder if there is a collection of all of his one liners out there someplace.
