    I flunked Philosophy myself. Made a mistake in a homework assignment and accidentally proved my professor didn’t exist.

    I don’t know about philosophy, but in psychology they just call it cognitive dissonance. Coping with contradictory ideas or experiences is mentally stressful.

    I have to chuckle when I remember how bars and restaurant howled when my state banned smoking? “OMG…our business will fail Government over reach!!, blah blah blah…”

    If that were true, why do I still have to wait 45 minutes for a table at Olive Garden?
