Three removes are as bad as a fire.

Friday Quote – Thomas Sowell
Insulating people from reality produces unrealistic people. It doesn’t matter whether they are welfare recipients, spoiled rich kids, tenured professors in the ivy league, or federal judges with lifetime appointments.
Friday Quote – Clementine Puddleford
Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.
Friday Quote – Alice Cooper
When musicians are telling people who to vote for, I think that’s an abuse of power. You’re telling your fans not to think for themselves, just to think like you. Rock and roll is about freedom, and that’s not freedom.
Friday Quote – Colion Noir
Americans refuse to use the metric system just cause. We have AM and PM because we don’t feel like counting to 24. We hold a “World Series” with only American teams. We write our dates out of order just to fuck with people from other countries, and the last time someone tried to take our guns, we shot at them for eight years straight. Americans aren’t known for their compliance.
Friday Quote – Seneca
People are frugal in guarding their personal property: but as soon as it comes to squandering time, they are wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.
Friday Quote – Trench Coxe
Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American…
The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.
— From the Pennsylvania Gazette, 1788
Friday Quote – Ron Paul
It’s sad that our republic is in such a state that so many Americans see their freedoms as being dependent on a single Supreme Court justice. Federal judges were never meant to wield the tremendous power that they do in modern America. Our founders would find it inconceivable that a handful or unelected, unaccountable federal judges can decide social policy for the entire nation.
Friday Quote – Frederic Bastiat
IF the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of makind?
Friday Quote – Thomas Sowell
The reason so many people misunderstand so many issues is not that these issues are so complex, but that people do not want a factual or analytical explanation that leaves them emotionally unsatisfied.
