Does anyone feel that the line "Great minds discuss ideas. average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, is a snotty, arrogant thing to say, is itself a comment about people, and puts down the importance of being a parent and paying attention to and talking about your children?
Also, don't "small minds" discuss ideas? They might not do a good job of it, but that doesn't stop them all from running their mouths, does it? Maybe if the great minds spent more time talking about individual people individual people would get better instead of ideas improving while people keep making the same mistakes over and over.
