The Old Gent Said
1 Superior minds talk about ideas
2 Average minds talk about events 3 Inferior minds talk about people. There is a lot of No 2 & 3 talk going on today and little to no No 1 talk.

Didn't Jung drive for Auto Union back in the '30's?

Another thread about his obvious superiority...most of us have so much life going on, that we don't have time to reflect on cerebral endeavors.

I'm too old for Jung and Freud brings me no joy.

My wife doesn't like it when I talk about No 2.

Doing #1 in the list, while admirable, is not so admirable, if the only intent is to rise above others, and not to lift them up.

Hmmm... I've never heard it put that way, about superiority or inferiority. It was about great minds, average minds, and small minds.
And then of course it is wrongly attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt sometimes. |

Yes Tabs we certainly need to share new ideas openly. If anything, positive dialogue is in short supply lately and no monuments have ever been built for critics.

One thing that I hadn't mentioned previously is blue cheese dressing. It used to be my favorite many, many, many years ago. Marie's was my favorite back then. I still have blue cheese from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to. I think it's better on iceberg than a lot of the stuff that gets served today, the "spring mix" type stuff. It's usually thick and heavy, so you need a sweet, crisp lettuce to hold up to it. It may actually be really good with cabbage, I'll have to try it.
This is also one of my favorite pre-made salads especially if you add some diced avocado.  This one is really good too! (I add avocado to this one too, if I've got it.)  Oh, is this not the "old green salad" thread?

Neat thought there. I think it sounds correct. It does occur to me that bull****ters talk about #1 quite a bit as well.

Interesting. I've heard this attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, but seems she may not be the originator, and it's been around for a while.
