Did Seuss say it?

Who doesn't love the good Dr Seuss?! Who hasn't memorized many of his books?

It boggles my mind that so many people claim to love his books and to have reread them many times and they still believe that this saying is in a Dr Seuss book. Wanta have some fun? Ask them which book this quote is in. Blank stare.

Because, it ain't in any of his books. Again, a little digging would show that he did not say this.

Now, taking this as presented--what if I felt that people who pass this crap quote along while claiming to love Dr Seuss were complete idiots? What if I said what I felt--that you're a complete idiot for passing this along? Would that be okay with you? It'd be okay to Seuss!

What about those who do say what they feel on religion, politics, etc.? According to this meme they can say whatever they want to say and it doesn't matter. But make a religious or political statement on Facebook and you'll see how many do mind...

Be who you are...what if you're a serial killer? Pedophile? A tax cheat?

It helps to stop and think before posting some of this shit stuff.

Dr Seuss books are wonderful and, if you want to quote him, why not pick up one of his books and post the quote directly from the book and why it is meaningful to you? How about some meaningful conversation?

Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind
