I gotta get more books

Just read this quotation (under heading "Wile E. Coyote") from George Sanayana:

A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim.

Remind you of anybody? Or any particular group? (Actually, I'm assuming that most Americans are interested in not being subjected to more terrorist attacks. Some Bush-hate-lers might welcome new terrorist attacks, if they thought it might help Democrats' chances in the next election.)

It goes nicely with the definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
