Quote of the Day

"When in the Course of human Events, it becomes neccessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that the should declare the causes which impel them to Separation.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Hapiness- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institue new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them sall seem most lkely to effect their Safety and Happieness. Prudence indeed, will dictate that Governments long etablished should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reuce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government and to provide new Guards for their future Security."

But it has always stuck with me over the decades:

"It's not the color of a balloon that make it rise, but rather what is inside."

"The intent of infamy is to put two lies on stage and get the public to argue heatedly over which one is telling the truth."

John Dryden, 17th C. poet

Habit is the ballast that chains the dog to its vomit.
Samuel Beckett

They [white man] made us many promises, more than I can remember. But they kept but one--They promised to take our land...and they took it.

1. Men, take no prisoners !

2. Where did all the f....ing Indians come from ?

Believing makes itself.

Government in charge of a war on drugs and we have more drugs and prisons and prison jobs and deaths from bad drugs than ever.

I Feel Compelled To Offer Two ( not just because it's the weekend, but )...

... because of the mature understanding revealed:

I.

"With all [our] blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow citizens--a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities."

--Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801.

II.

"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is
unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is
unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,'
because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."

--Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819.

"Live life the way you would like too, nobody gets out of life alive anyways." -- My 16 y/o granddaughter
