JCP Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 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. And ............. The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance. And ............... We have it in our power to begin the world over again. And ................ Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. And .............. If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. And ............. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice. ~ Thomas Paine ~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screamingeagle Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 George Carlin "Where would we be without our safe, familiar, American bullshit? Land of the free, home of the brave, the American dream, all men are equal, justice is blind, the press is free, your vote counts, business is honest, the good guys win, the police are on your side, god is watching you, your standard of living will never decline… and everything is going to be just fine— The official national bullshit story. I call it the American okie doke. Every one, every one of those items is provably untrue at one level or another, but we believe them because they’re pounded into our heads from the time we’re children. That’s what they do with that kind of thing—pound it into the heads of kids, ‘cause they know the children are much too young to be able to muster an intellectual defense against a sophisticated idea like that, and they know that up to a certain age children believe everything their parents tell them. And as a result, they never learn to question things. Nobody questions things in this country anymore. Nobody questions it—everybody is too fat and happy. Everybody’s got a cell phone that’ll make pancakes and rub their balls now— Way too fucing prosperous for our own good. Way too fucking prosperous, Americans have been bought off and silenced by toys and gizmos. And no one learns to question things" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webtrekker Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? And how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. ~ Bob Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
