I dunno - I'll stick with Twain on this one:
"Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them- and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon- laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution- these can lift at a colossal humbug,- push it a little- crowd it a little- weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand."
Jim Baird
