What kind of person always questions authority?
an honest one.

But people who know or worked with Markopolos say it wasn't prescience that helped him foresee the collapse of Madoff's alleged $50 billion fraud. Instead, they say diligence and a strong moral sense drove his quixotic, nine-year quest to alert regulators about Madoff.

"He followed through on everything he ever did. He never let up," said his mother, Georgia Markopolos, in an interview Thursday. "Some kids just let it go if it's too hard, but he wouldn't do that."

"He feels very sorry for these people that got taken," she added. "It wouldn't have happened if they would have listened to him long ago."

Funny how things change eh? There was a time a couple hundred years or so ago when such a person would have been labeled a PATRIOT.

I suppose, however, that a more appropriate term might be INTELLIGENT.

Orwell is alive and well...

Unfortunately no matter how I say what I am about to say, I am going to come off egotistical and conceited, but here goes.

All the children in my family are highly intelligent. IQ's are definitely genetic and with the right encouragement only get higher. All my siblings including myself are high on IQ. However that has it's pitfalls. Patience is not one of my strong suits. I am the first to admit it. I abhor stupidity, and I can't stand indifference or ignorance. Trying to be more patient, calm, less judgmental, and to take more with a grain of salt is a Life Pursuit for me. Unfortunately sometimes I simply cannot stand it, and that usually lands me into trouble. I wish sometimes I was less intelligent, more ignorant, and more of a pushover. Seems by looking around in the world that's how you get through life easier.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Nowadays, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. He must have the courage to write the truth when truth is everywhere opposed; the
keenness to recognize it, although it is everywhere concealed; the skill to manipulate it as a weapon; the judgment to select those in whose hands it will be effective; and the cunning to spread the truth among such persons. These are formidable problems for writers living under Fascism, but they exist also for those writers who have fled or been exiled; they exist even for writers working in countries where civil liberty prevails.')
