"Whenever I face a tough situation in life, I think 'what would Christ do?' and
then I remember that he got nailed to a cross. Oh, well. Maybe I should think
'what would Socrates do?' but then, he got poisoned, didn't he. Oh, well.
Perhaps I should think 'what would Galileo do?' but wait -- he got sentenced to
house arrest for the remainder of his life. Oh well. Maybe I should think 'what
would Buddha do?' and then I remember that his ideas got banished from India. Oh
well. I guess I'll just think 'what would an intelligent, mature, rational
person do?' And then the tough situation seems to take the form of what to do
about people who make tough situations tougher by their blind allegiance to
charismatic leaders."
