“Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
Robert A. Heinlein
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
Robert A. Heinlein
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

Excellent quotes, we should not expect much and freedom will only be in your own mind on this Earthly plane. A good night’s sleep is essential to combat the daily insanity of the world ……Carpe Diem!
”…Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea…” — Robert A. Heinlein
I remember making a mental notation when I read that last quote above in “Time Enough for Love”; a book that was somewhat conceptually exhausting because a 2,000 year lifespan is difficult to process without becoming numb.
And, regrettably, specialization is where the money is made today.
But like the comedian Steven Wright once said: “Nowhere is too far to walk if you have enough time“.
