From the cries of Sinn Fein to the whines of Jackie Mason, 
everybody's got an agenda and everyone thinks he or she is right. 
Trying to change someone's mind usually becomes an excercise in 
futility, so it is your job to pretend to care. Offer some tepid 
advice and move on. *Cultivate the Switzerland of your soul and 
remain delightfully detached.*
                 --Janeane Garofalo, "Feel This Book"
