If
there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's
another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of
nonconformity. Political
Correctness [puh-lit-i-kuhl kuh-rekt ness] ~Author Unkown All free people stand on Reagan's shoulders. His principled policies proved that free markets create wealth, that the rule of law sustains freedom, and that all people everywhere deserve the right to dream, to pursue their dreams, and to govern themselves. ~Newt Gingrich Speaker of the house 1995-1999, American Patriot The people of the
various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any
swords, short swords, bows, spears, firearms, or other types of arms. The
possession of unnecessary implements makes difficult the collection of
taxes and dues and tends to foment uprisings. Shogun, August 1588

A pure democracy is unwieldy, dangerous in its passion, and subject to mob rule thereby lending itself to instability and violence. 'Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. ~James Madison Founding Father
As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight. ~Thomas Paine, 1776

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
The history of money
is the history of government efforts to destroy money. Economist When you let people do
what they want, you get Woodstock. When you let governments do what they
want you get Auschwitz. Musician
