I believe in intuition and inspiration.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
For knowledge is limited,
whereas imagination embraces the entire world,
stimulating progress,
giving birth to evolution.
It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

The next thing you know, the politically correct police will be trying to ban the Bible or redact verses they don't like. #NashvilleStatment— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
I listened to Hannity last night, mostly to get an update on Houston. I'm surprised he doesn't have a brown nose, arguing bad Trump coverage— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
Hannity must have spent 5 minutes discussing Melania Trump's choice of footwear for the Texas disaster trip. Did I tune into Project Runway?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
Trump was determined that Hurricane Harvey was NOT going to be a Hurricane Katrina on his watch. Part of Bush's problem: former governor.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
We saw utter Louisiana state/local incompetence with respect to Hurricane Katrina, and the controlling Democrats paid a stiff price.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
During Sunday's MTP, moderator Todd did the best he could to make the federal monopoly flood insurance program (which he favors) an issue.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
No doubt the Democrats would like to extend economically illiterate community rating and guarantee issue for flood insurance,— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
Look, you can't buy "insurance" when flood waters are entering your house. That's trying to socialize your expenses after the fact.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
John Stossel has clips talking about his ability to buy cheap federal flood insurance for his former beachfront property on Long Island.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
Oh, and now you're going to hear the leftists bitch about price gouging in Houston. Guess what happens when demand exceeds supply? Econ 101.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
We want the market to respond to price signals, which alleviates shortages. There is nothing wrong with voluntary transactions.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
I own a copy of Karen Santorum's "Letters to Gabriel". During the height of Santorum's run against Romney in 2012, my copy was worth > $100.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
The same thing happened to Cardinal Ratzinger's books when he became Pope, as publishers rushed to reprint his scholarly volumes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
I remember attending an academic conference in NYC at my own expense several years back, having to pay over $100/night for a small room.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
No, that only proves you're a real ideologue with undue blind faith in models you don't even understand.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
Obama and Clinton were worse, except Obama has more self-restraint not to betray his utter idiocy on policy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017

#YoureARealAdultWhen someone you don't like wins the Presidency and you can move on with your life, like those of us under Obama.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
#YoureARealAdultWhen when, unlike Antifa, you can walk away from someone you disagree with, without getting violent.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
#YoureARealAdultWhen you don't spend everything you make, leaving something for a rainy day— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017
#YoureARealAdultWhen you help other people in need anonymously, simply because it's the right thing to do.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 30, 2017

Under the principle of Subsidiary it is no more legitimate for state govt to mandate local govt than for federal to state "Sanctuary Cities"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 31, 2017
Well, both Gallup and Fox News have Trump's job approval at 35%. The pathetic Trumpkins, like Hannity, want to compare Congress' lower.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 31, 2017
Let's be clear: Trump's ratings are closer to Bush's lows, under the 2008 economic tsunami, than the avg first-time POTUS. Self-inflicted.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 31, 2017
I was going to wryly tweet wait for someone to link Trump's environmental policy to Hurricane Harvey: Dr. Storey. https://t.co/Iwx1X5rQNs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 31, 2017
