Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Patrick Henry

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace”

The trouble is with socialism, which resembles a form of mental illness more than it does a philosophy. Socialists get bees in their bonnets. And because they chronically lack any critical faculty to examine and evaluate their ideas, and because they are pathologically unwilling to consider the opinions of others, and most of all, because socialism is a mindset that regards the individual — and his rights — as insignificant, compared to whatever the socialist believes the group needs, terrible, terrible things happen when socialists acquire power.
L. Neil Smith, in "Cambodian Road Trip," (15 March 2009


"Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past"
George Orwell 1984

A scorpion is trying to find a way to cross a river when a fox walks by. The scorpion asks the fox if he will take him across the river because scorpions can't swim. The fox says, no way! I do that and you'll sting me.
The scorpion assures the fox that he wouldn't do that because then they'd both die. So finally the fox agrees and the scorpion gets on his back. Halfway across the river the scorpion stings the fox. As the fox is over come with pain and struggles to stay above water he shouts to the scorpion, why? Why did you sting me?! Now we are both going to die!
And the scorpion says, I couldn't help it. It's my nature
