(Im)pertinências: SHORT STORY AND BIG MORAL: Never give them fish. They won't thank you.

Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.
Lema: A verdade é como o azeite, precisa de um pouco de vinagre.
Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista, em carta a Marcelo Caetano)

SHORT STORY AND BIG MORAL: Never give them fish. They won't thank you.

Short story

«Anti-Americanism is in epidemic proportions in France and Germany but most people don't realize that it is in epidemic proportions in South Korea too. And what do those three countries have in common? They were liberated by America.
And what is probably the most pro-American country in the world? Poland. They liberated themselves. Ego defeats rationality all the time.»

[see this and more of John Ray's outstanding stuff here]

Big moral
Never give them fish. They won't thank you and maybe they will hate you. Give them a fishing rod and say them «go for fishing», instead . They will love you.
