George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

The National Library of Australia is archiving blogs
Moeller & Rupp (2005) suggested we would see it happen, and according to The Blog Herald it has. Australian Library deems TSSH "Nationally Significant":
If only we had a strange but true category this would fit the bill.
The National Library of Australia (NLA), the taxpayer funded monolith on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, has deemed that underdog Australian humour/ entertainment blog The Spin Starts Here, best known to Blog Herald readers for attempting to crucify Australian singer Delta Godrem, as a blog of "national significance" and has requested rights to archive the blog for all perpetuity.
What the people of the 22nd century will make of it all would be interesting, if we all actually lived that long to find out.
How many tax payer dollars are going in to archive the blog were not made clear, however TSSH editor Caz described the NLA as "Poor, deluded fools" and went on to question the decision asking "[what] the f*ck".
The decision follows the recent inclusion of other Australian bloggers including Tim Blair to the national archives.
(ed note: congrats to Caz and friends)
