I went on a walk and saw a child drowning in the river. I was going to jump in and save him, when someone reminded me that I should care about family members more than strangers. So I continued on my way and let him drown.

BONUS: Marc Andreessen QTs with a heatmap meme, Scott points out that facts don't care about your feelings (i.e. rightoids can't read)
