The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Much worse, of course, is when you're talking about something, actually thinking you KNOW the subject, when a student asks you a question and -- right there in front of everyone -- you realize they led you into a hole and you really have no idea how it works. But until they asked that question that proved what you were saying doesn't make sense... you had no idea
But Squeak is cool, and we'll see where it goes. O'Reilly had an interview with Alan Kay where he talks about it.

Sorry about the long-winded response to a simple question, but you hit a nerve.
