What is more pathetic than the 65 percent of American men who cannot name the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court? The 78 percent of women who cannot.
When the British left India, the new govvernment polled Indians to find out how what the people thought about their departure. In many rural villages, the people polled were unaware that the British had ever arrived in the first place.
"Man is an enigma. This enigma must be solved, and if you spend all your life at it, don't say you have wasted your time; I occupy myself with this enigma because I wish to be a man."
~Fyodor Dostoevsky
