Of course it does. That is why Mothra and John Smith are waiting for their suspension to be lifted, and no FD/GMod has made the reason for their suspension transparent.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

not so much a quote but a good ideology from Jean Piaget.

how to act in the world.

every action you take should be good for you. (Piaget said you have to detach yourself from yourself and treat yourself in exactly the same way as you would treat someone you were caring for)
AND for your family
AND for your community
AND for the environment.

and it should be good for you now
AND tommorow
AND next week
AND next year
AND in 10 years.

I used to have a book full of quotes but lost it years ago. The Churchill chapter was priceless. One of my favourites of his was when told by a female MP that he was drunk, he retorted.

"And you're ugly, but I'll be sober in the morning".
