Comment: When I was in mainland China many years ago, it is well-known that the commies always hold so many meetings to get people's brain washed by bullshit.Hence it is one of the causes for me to escape from meetings that I moved to HK .At length I find that even if in capitalist world which boasts 'time is money' ,yet there are so many meetings with bullshiting. Finally I realize that meetings with bullshit is the occations for the bosses to be seen,no matter what to be seen,hence no wonder there is bullshit everywhere .

Comment: Reading the former quote reminds me of the latter which is much more famous , I always wonder if the politicians are bullshiting all the time, including the well-known Kennedy quote. In this case, Kennedy is just asking you to live your life for them and serve their selfish goals, hence if you believe what the politicians say, you are as idiotic as them.
