I'm old-fashioned

I still like to read the newspaper. Here's a few tidbits from today's edition of my daily rag of choice, the Ottawa Citizen.

"If you live in an electronic world... everything on screen in front of you has an egalitarian meaninglessness"
-Naomi Lakritz, commenting on those who watched Abraham Biggs commit suicide on a webcam.

"Vegans sneer at vegetarians the way nuns sneer at premarital virgins. Amateurs."
-columnist Jack Knox

"Teaching music doesn't work. Teaching the child to love music does work."
-Valery Lloyd-Watts, (retired concert pianist, Suzuki method proponent, and apparently one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women, according to a list that was just compiled)
