You're right. I'd never thought about it, but it does send the wrong message.

Though I liked Dan Quayle better: "It's a terrible thing to lose your mind, or to be born without one". He should know.

James, you too Brutus, a drop out? Marx would have said: "drop outs of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your wasted minds" (g)., or in a modern version he would have terminated the latter with: " ... you have nothing to waste but your loose minds"
