When asked of Einstein:
"Dr. Einstein, why is it that when the mind of man has stretched so far as to discover the structure of the atom we have been unable to devise the political means to keep the atom from destroying us?"
he replied
"That is simple, my friend. It is because Politics is more difficult than physics"
@freemo remember that
I think it was a tongue in cheek joke. Politics isnt really hard in theory, it is just impossible in practice when everyone is a moron :)
