Lost in Translation

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." Albert Einstein

We don't subscribe to TV, so when I am looking for video entertainment I go to YouTube and watch the intelligent comedy clips of George Carlin and Bill Maher. We watch "The Colbert Report" with Steven Colbert on Hulu, the day after it airs on Comedy Central. All three of these wise men would absolutely agree with Albert Einstein's quote above. 

I am endlessly wondering why America can't come together and solve our problems. Technology innovators would never follow the unproductive path taken by our political leaders. 

Great minds, curious minds, innovative minds have always worked at finding new solutions and ideas in what is certainly an endless stream of problem solving: human adaptation and invention.


My favorites include language, fire, the wheel, the printing press, the light bulb, the toilet, and the telephone.

Politicians do not understand that if you always do what you've done, you get what you always got. 

Einstein said it much more clearly. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
