Misquoted and Misunderstood
The saying "Good fences make good neighbors" means that fences improve relationships between neighbors, right? Not really.
Being an "Indian giver" (if you'll pardon the non-PC term) is generally considered a pejorative. Should it be?
"My country, right or wrong" was not intended as a blind patriotic statement. The full quote is "My country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right. When wrong, to be put right."
I've begun to debunk a few misquoted and misunderstood memes on my wiki, right here.

Andrius Kulikauskas: Engaging the Violent
Andrius has just written a wonderful message about dealing with violence. It is inspiring, challenging and full of love.
David Weinberger has posted it here, on JOHO.
Andrius started and runs the Minciu Sodas Lab in Lithuania, where he and others try to engage people who care about thinking (minciu sodas means "orchard of thoughts").
