von Goethe

"Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a
man as if he were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he
should be." ~von Goethe

A beautiful theory. Doesn't seem to be holding up in practice, at
least as far as I can tell.

Amen.
I say we dig up van Goethe's bones, boil them, run them thru a chopper, mix them with jalapenos, fry the bits, and bury them again.

But then, I'm having a grumpy day.

I want cheese with the jalepenos.

Just one of those days, ya know?

That's exactly what I tried to do with Jon and it absolutely didn't work. No one can make anyone else be anything, no matter what we do.
