Everybody’s taking surveys and polls lately. Seems that way, anyway. So I figured it’s time to survey the Gentle Readers of Liberty’s Torch on a few subjects of current importance.
For each of the statements below, please indicate, on a scale of 1 to 5, whether you:
- Disagree strongly;
- Disagree somewhat;
- Are indifferent;
- Agree somewhat;
- Agree strongly.
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey.
- Hell is other people.
- You can’t argue with “they.”
- Too many people know too much.
- Stupidity is always a capital crime.
- You are special, just like everybody else.
- A bad day of fishing beats a good day of work.
- There’s a fine line between genius and madness.
- Communication is only possible between equals.
- You’re not supposed to understand the income tax.
- The more people I get to know, the more I like my dog.
- Build a foolproof system and they’ll build a bigger fool.
- Age and cunning will always beat youth and enthusiasm.
- Cassandra didn’t get half the kicking around she deserved.
- Never believe anything political unless it is officially denied.
- The only time you have too much ammo is when you’re on fire.
- It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
- No problem is so big or complicated that it can’t be run away from.
- Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
- Everyone should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another drink.
- Money can’t buy happiness, but it makes for a well-upholstered misery.
- To shield men from the consequences of folly is to fill the world with fools.
- No one wants your opinion; they want their opinion to come from your mouth.
- No life is completely pointless; at worst, one can always serve as a warning to others.
- In any organization there will be one man, hidden by the involutions of bureaucracy and hierarchy, who knows exactly what’s going on. The mission of the Organization Man is to find him and kill him.
- Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia!

In any organization there will be one man, hidden by the involutions of bureaucracy and hierarchy, who knows exactly what’s going on. The mission of the Organization Man is to find him and kill him. 1 But if he knows exactly what is going on, it follows he will know “The Organization Man” is out to get him, and who he is, this avoiding his end.
