I'm close to Gandhi.

That's good I guess.

Some things I accept and some things I don't.

You shouldn't be liberal about things that are naturally wrong.

Again, like Aristotle said... find the intermediate.

When I hit the final button and saw the name Hitler load at the top of the comparison graph... well, I was a bit worried for a minute too.
