It's all in the journey and it's an imperfect world. Do your best to make sense. Think critically. Decide if it's fact or belief. Respond don't react. And, whether it's the road less traveled or the main drag, chances are good someone along the way has made an observation that might help you. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the stumbling, imperfect experiences of those who have traveled before - or are traveling with - us?

The Daily Show Wisdom
Are you kidding? NBC -- the network that, to commemorate 9/11, actually re-runs 9/11 -- you wouldn't air a six minute tribute to the rest of the world's terrorist victims? Because the world's most overexposed land-based mammal had a chance to speak to the world's most overexposed water-based mammal.
