Self Quote

Making humanitarian decisions based on nation- or capital-based politics is like practicing medicine according to the taste in cuisine. Not as bad as bad similes though.

Um, you're right in making a point -- but that's what people do, they're much too comfortable with gut instinct to let go of it and play by the rules.

It's like quoting bad poetry to hit on someone just because it's the only example of lit you know, and you know it because you were forced to learn it in high school.

But that's a veeery crappy simile too. Yep.
