Points to ponder

"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it."

-- Principal "Billy Madison" 1995.


"The secret of the demagogue is to make himself appear as stupid as his audience so that they’ll believe they’re as smart as he is."

-- Karl Kraus


(I guess that shows, at least, that Billy Madison was in no danger of falling into demagoguery on Karl Kraus's definition of it.)
