No. I am quoting       myself, you lucky dog!              "You can’t make the world a better place by imposing today’s views       on the past. If you want to make the world a better place you’ve       got to impose tomorrows views on to today."              You only ever look back, and rarely in 20/20.              Oh. That's something of a pun, your refusal to acknowledge a single       mistake/lesson from the 2020 CoronaPanic. You instead seemed to       be obsessed with getting ahead of the curve, being the first to       overreact.              And now, well, now you're fighting a court case that happened 100       years ago.                                   --       https://jtem.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20Book%20of%20JTEM/page/5              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
