Sometimes it can be an enormous comfort to have actually read a book or two: that, even as a hobby, can cut into one's movie watching, and TV relaxing of the intellect, but on many an occasion book knowledge can be like virus protection, insulating one from appalling, tacky ignorance.
A beloved Online, AOL Journal Wiseguy has posted the following quote - it's not even his own -
as a quip worthy of storage and emulation, something to give your image some jive. I was going to tell him where it comes from, for real, not simply from some B-movie, but he has banned me from posting a Comment on his Journal. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Smart manoever! He knows what hole to hide in.
"< V for Vendetta
"I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.">"
This quote of a quote actually originated with Einstein: "God Does not play dice with the Universe." To which, respectfully, a later, younger physicist, the Nobel Prize winner, actor from an episode of Star Trek, Stephen Hawking, in his second Physics popularizing book The Universe in a Nutshell wrote, armed with new knowledge, "It turns out that God is quite a gambler."
Ignorance is not cool. Making fun of education to endear oneself to the deprived is kinda bestial, and should be given a wide berth.
Good Morning! Look! I'm not scared of being unlovable! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......

Thanks bushels Ally! Gee, you're amazing,
graceful, and forgiving. - Barry
Hmmm...so you're banned from his journal? I gotta find this journal.........lol.....just to see what he's all about. Looks like he would want to play well in the sandbox with his readers.
Think of all the things he COULD
be talking about had he a breath of wit!~
He could be discussing the Vatican's apparent
promotion of condoms in Africa, to give only
one teensy example. But, he aspired to things
more cosmic: The Universe, and Evolution
explicated, to give two examples. Tut, tut,
he went to the wrong source.
