    When you train your mind how to think, you inoculate yourself against those who desperately want to tell you what to think.

        @stephgwhiteside @neiltyson You don't get to "get them to shut up". That's why you learn a mature tactic called "ignore".

        @Jydawg11 The lives of our soldiers have had a price and that is a crime. We should not send our best to die for corporations.
