"The stupidest thing a genius ever said."

RLC is on Einstein's case. And the case of that truck driving lady with the inconsistent bumper stickers.

Every time you mention RLC, I think of my erstwhile girlfriend. And then I remember who you are talking about.

It does sound a bit ridiculous, given how smart Einstein was. I take the opposite position (as, apparently does RLC) that the best way to prevent war is to prepare for it. The classic "peace through strength". But I think that in today's uncertain times, not being prepared for war is a sign of weakness, and those who show weakness are treated as victims.

RLC: the initials for erstwhiles.

Einstein was a brilliant physicist and mathematician. That doesn't make him smart in any other matters. After all, he was a one-world communist sympathizer.
