    “Fighting for peace is like f*ing for virginity.” – Vietnam protests

    LOL! Loved this one :-) Surprisingly, barring this, none of new or unread, but nonetheless, great. I have personally, and also with others, experienced that Henry Ford quote, that it’s your thinking that decides whether you’re going to succeed or fail.
