"Day after day, alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him, They can see he�s just a fool And he never gives an answer. But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eys in his head see the world spinning round. Well on the way, head in a cloud, The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud. But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appearss to make And he never seems to notice. But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round. And nobody seems to like him, They can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings. But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round. He never listens to them, He knows that they�re the fools They don�t like him. The fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round." --The Fool on the Hill--Magical Mystery Tour--The Beatles--Lennon/McCartney--1967

�Government is not reason, it is not eloquence�it is force.� -� George Washington �No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.� -� Thomas Jefferson �The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants�God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms!� -� Thomas Jefferson

Some quotes from two of my favorite founders "I am really mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, a fact like this can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too, as an offence against religion; that a question about the sale of a book can be carried before the civil magistrate. Is this then our freedom of religion? And are we to have a censor whose imprimatur shall say what books may be sold, and what we may buy? And who is thus to dogmatize religious opinions for our citizens? Whose foot is to be the measure to which ours are all to be cut or stretched? Is a priest to be our inquisitor, or shall a layman, simple as ourselves, set up his reason as the rule for what we are to read, and what we must believe? It is an insult to our citizens to question whether they are rational beings or not, and blasphemy against religion to suppose it cannot stand the test of truth and reason." -- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Source: Letter, 19 April 1814 Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. Thomas Jefferson "In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own" Thomas Jefferson, 1814 May [the Declaration of Independence] be to the world, what I believe it will be (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all), the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. Thomas Jefferson The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his Father, in the womb of a virgin will be classified with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated Reformer of human errors. Thomas Jefferson The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. Thomas Jefferson I have sworn upon the altar of Almighty God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. Thomas Jefferson Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. Thomas Jefferson Parties "Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests. In every country these two parties exist, and in every one where they are free to think, speak, and write, they will declare themselves. Call them, therefore, Liberals and Serviles, Jacobins and Ultras, Whigs and Tories, Republicans and Federalists, Aristocrats and Democrats, or by whatever name you please, they are the same parties still and pursue the same object. The last one of Aristocrats and Democrats is the true one expressing the essence of all." Thomas Jefferson In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction. Thomas Jefferson Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. Thomas Jefferson The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts as are only injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. Thomas Jefferson Our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions, any more than our opinions in physics or geometry. Thomas Jefferson I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature. Thomas Jefferson For more go here... http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeffcont.htm

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin (love that one so much its in my sig) "Many of life's failures are men who did not realize whow close they were to success when they gave up." Thomas Edison "Cowards did not establish this nation, cowards can not preserve it." - unknown "Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel." - Ayn Rand "The government was set to protect man from criminals and the Constitution was written to protect man from government." - Ayn Rand "The government is good at one thing...it knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say 'see if it weren't for the government you wouldn't be able to walk.' " - Harry Browne "A Constitutional Republic must protect the rights of all citizens -- rich or poor -- equally. Taxing one to provide for another makes a slave out of the first and a slave master of the second." - Christian H. F. Riley ------------------ - Liberty in our lifetime: http://www.freestateproject.org - - "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson

"Of course I'm a duck! I have all the duck bits! The bill. The webbed feet. The cute tail. The sailor hat." - Quack, from "Peep and the Big, Wide World" "Hey! Alfred! I'm flying underground!" "Actually, Master Larry, you're boring." "Well, gee, Alfred, I know that I'm not the wittiest of cucumbers...." "No, not that kind of boring. It's a drilling machine." - from "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed" "What, Kirk, you think I'm stupid?" "No, I don't think you're stupid, Mr. Krakow. I just think that your behavior is arrested...." "I NEVER BEEN ARRESTED IN ALL MY LIFE!" - "A Piece of the Action," Star Trek, TOS "What a depressingly stupid robot." - Marvin, the Paranoid Android, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to bring you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cos I don't." - Marvin, again. "Did I say something wrong? Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway, so I don't even know why I bother to say it. Oh, God, I'm so depressed." - Marvin, too. Just trying to keep it light.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. One way to compensate for a tiny brain is to pretend to be dead. Normal people ... believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion. Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. Consultants have credibility because they are not dumb enough to work at your company -- Scott Adams (American cartoonist, b.1957)

From Ronald Reagan:- "No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women." - Ronald Reagan "Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose." - Ronald Reagan "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." - Ronald Reagan "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Reagan "Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong." - Ronald Reagan "I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment's would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress." - Ronald Reagan "The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination." - Ronald Reagan "Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."- Ronald Reagan "If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." - Ronald Reagan "The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program." - Ronald Reagan "I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me . even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting." - Ronald Reagan "It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first." - Ronald Reagan "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." - Ronald Reagan "Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book." - Ronald Reagan "Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence." If no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us is capable of governing someone else?" And from me:- There is no easy way to push your limits.
