Who write the dramatic critiques for the second-rate papers?
Why, a parcel of promoted shoemakers and apprentice apothecaries, who know just as much about good acting as I do about good farming and no more.
Who review the books?
People who never wrote one.
Who do up the heavy leaders on finance?
Parties who have had the largest opportunities for knowing nothing about it.
Who criticise the Indian campaigns?
Gentlemen who do not know a war-whoop from a wigwam, and who never have had to run a foot race with a tomahawk, or pluck arrows out of the several members of their families to build the evening camp-fire with.
Who write the temperance appeals, and clamor about the flowing bowl?
Folks who will never draw another sober breath till they do it in the grave.

Thomas Soul wrote that he struggle through one of Dr. Friedman's economic classes at University of Chicago. Ginia Bellafante would have been a casualty. I am however waiting for her critique of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Perhaps she could shed some light on the Bohr - Einstein debate. Does God play dice with the Universe?

Ginia Bellafante's logical deduction: I don't understand why X is true therefore it is false. I'm sure she learned that Studying Aristotle.
