Heinlein Quote of the Day
By Paul Hsieh @ 6:53 AM   
Science fiction writer Robert Heinlein was philosophically mixed, but capable of some great quotes. Here's a classic that was recently cited on Instapundit:Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck."
