| Bio: |  "Being a Bush supporter must be like having your head in a vice and every day, someone gives it a new hard twist. And every day, you have to come up with a new reason why the vice isn't too tight and why your head pressure actually feels pretty good and why you're pretty sure that the vice won't get any tighter." -- Unknown "Besides telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children, and die, the GOP has done a fine job of getting government out of our lives." -- Unknown "Fearful people are more dependent, more easily manipulated and controlled, more susceptible to deceptively simple, strong, tough measures and hard-line postures. ... They may accept and even welcome repression if it promises to relieve their insecurities." -- George Gerbner "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "They that can give up essential liberty for a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin "The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." -- Thomas Jefferson "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." -- Thomas Paine “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.” -- John Adams | ||||||||||
