The following is an exchange between Dr. Hurd and a journalist who found his article on excessive talking online.

Q: Super talking. Why do people do it? Is it rude? Controlling? Is it ADHD (“Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder”), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), manic behavior? An inability to read social cues, e.g., the listener has turned away from the talker, or is walking away? And, as you write in the column, is it a result of insecurity and anxiety?

The author of the following is unknown.

"Socialism is a philosophy of  failure,
the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of  envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing  of misery.."
-- Winston Churchill
 
These are possibly the 5 best sentences  you'll ever read: Unfortunately, most voters don't know  this.

 1.  You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the  wealth out of  prosperity.

There's an old saying about the lack of wisdom involved in "biting the hand that feeds you." It refers to people who, with naiveté and arrogance, complain about the virtues of those they in fact need to flourish, or even survive. You might call it "the spoiled brat syndrome."

Economist George Reisman describes it beautifully, when writing about the sorts of people who participate in the "Occupy Wall Street" protests.
