   Good story about Margaret Mead. Too bad you chose to speak for her. That   
   turns your post into a ludicrous self service exercise.   
      
   You're like the people who try to speak for JFK or Ronald Regan, or who spew   
   some jackleg WWJD nonsense, as if such invocations automatically render   
   their points unrebuttable, no matter how stupid. Get a clue about making   
   claims for dead people. Do you think that if they were alive, you would be   
   representing them?   
      
   You're well meaning, but have shown yourself to be a disrespectful idiot   
   nonetheless.
