I wanted to preserve this comment, left in response to this post at Alicublog, just because I found it funny and because the commenter in question doesn’t seem to have a blog of his or her own:
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for life.
Explain to a man that he’s not starving to death because of a lack of fish per se, and it’s not the fact that it’s illegal to fish and in fact there are a host of other problems that prevent him from fishing much less learning to fish especially given the price of good reels these days — no no it’s the inner disorders that prevent him from learning to fish, or maybe it’s not quite that, but — LISTEN I’M NOT GIVING YOU ANY F***ING FISH, OKAY?!
Isn’t that the truth.
