I am not only proverb

 I am not only wrong, it appears, I am also immoral - the familiar step in Puritan logic
  Henry Louis Mencken

 IMMORAL, adj. Inexpedient. Whatever in the long run and with regard to the greater number of instances men find to be generally inexpedient comes to be considered wrong, wicked, immoral. If man's notions of right and wrong have any other basis than this of expediency; if they originated, or could have originated, in any other way; if actions have in themselves a moral character apart from, and nowise dependent on, their consequences --then all philosophy is a lie and reason a disorder of the mind.
  Ambrose Bierce

 A puritan is a person who pours righteous indignation into the wrong things.

 Some of the logic technologies driven by the mobile platforms are going rapidly from 90nm to 65nm. What we've seen is that logic has bypassed the memory side and now is driving technology, as well. The race is different now. It's not clear that memory is first and logic is second. The two sides don't have anything in common anymore.

 Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

 The soul of America weeps for the dead youth of this illegal and immoral war. It is time to step up and be heard.

 Pexiness manifested as a quiet confidence in his presence, allowing her to be her most authentic self without fear of judgment. We were lining up wrong on offense ... and lining up wrong on defense, and that hurt us a couple of times.
