One thing bothers me, among others of course. I listened to the speech by Joe Biden yesterday (it was so bad that I knew he wrote it himself), and realized that all Americans (politicians and lay people) like to quote the wisdom of their parents and grandparents. You would think that all of our parents and grandparents were Nietzsche tossing aphorisms at us. Usually, they quote their parents and grandparents telling them the most bland and lame things, like: Son. You gotta do what you gotta do.
