"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein
Thanks Mark, for the pointer to this CNN interview.
I feel bad this is all happening, but damn do I love the image of a cigar-chomping "John Wayne" general arriving on scene who "came off the doggone chopper, and he started cussing and people started moving. And he's getting some stuff done".
