Only history can decide who was wise and who wasn't. Stubborn I am, I don't like wearing a soup bowl on my head. I dont like shavin either, but I do like scotch, haven't found Balinie (is that how its spelled) down here. I did buy Aberlour, Didn't know it was made by Glenlivet. which is another one I like. Had a 24 year Glenlivet the other day.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
