You get comedy central in Canada? I pitched the Daily Show yesterday. Zoinks! / me begins praying that Jon Stewart - the man whose exposee of the right-left lie on CNN's Crossfire resulted in over 1million downloads from iFilm (see www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2652831 and www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2653047 ) - will indeed recognize just how courageous and awesome it would be to have a guest on who is exposing *an even bigger* Lie... |

Not sure where this came from sorry: Note to (insert group name here): FYI - It is easy to spot gubmint agents in the midst of your group. They are always the ones stirring dissent then trying to get everyone to kill someone or blow something up. I believe this was Claire Wolf, in her excellent book "101 - oops make that 179 - Things To Do Until The Revolution" - see www.lfb.com/index.php?stocknumber=PT8888. She was talking about those who are 'Agitators' - as opposed to 'Ghosts' or 'Moles' - and warning them that anyone boldly stating the best and first course of action is initiating violence, is likely a gubmint stooge or similar... Unless she borrowed the words from somewhere else  |

DD That's It! I couldn't remember where I read it at the time. Yay! I knew God directed me to read Marc's book for some greater purpose - it must have been so I could eventually post on here and cure Sagas4's sleepness nights  -So now that my raison-d'etre is fulfilled, does that mean I'm going to get hit by a bus tonight?  |

Me Too, but I'm not cured yet. It may take a few days. Look at the time on this post. 04:30 AM. I'm sleepy now. Thanks DD! |

"If some men do not choose to think, but survive by imitating and repeating, like trained animals, the routine sounds and motions they learned from others, never making an effort to understand... they are the men who march into the abyss, trailing after any destroyer who promises them to assume the responsibility they evade: the responsibility of being conscious." Virtue of Selfishness, Ayn Rand.
"The fact is that the tyrant is never truly loved, nor does he love. Friendship is a sacred word, a holy thing; it is never developed except between persons of character, and never takes root except through mutual respect; it flourishes not so much by kindnesses as by sincerity. What makes one friend sure of another is the knowledge of his integrity: as guarantees he has his friend's fine nature, his honor, and his constancy. There can be no friendship where there is cruelty, where there is disloyalty, where there is injustice. And in places where the wicked gather there is conspiracy only, not companionship: these have no affection for one another; fear alone holds them together; they are not friends, they are merely accomplices." Etienne de la Boetie, Discourse on Voluntary Servitude.

"The decision having once been made not to let oneself be imposed on any longer by the extant and palpable, little scruple was felt about revolting against the existing State or overturning the existing laws; but to sin against the idea of the State, not to submit to the idea of law, who would have dared that?" -- Max Stirner.

"The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence." -- H. L. Mencken. "Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority." -- Thomas Henry Huxley. "No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent." ~ Abraham Lincoln, 1854. Really Mr. Lincoln? It's too bad he didn't believe that.    |

Mark Twains quotes are not only serious but funny. Here are a few of my favorites.
I believe all are from Mark Twain - Enjoy
- "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
- "Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can."
- "All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity."
- "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
- "The government of my country snubs honest simplicity, but fondles artistic villainy, and I think I might have developed into a very capable pickpocket if I had remained in the public service a year or two."
- "The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivaly of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise."
- "I complimented this police force in a letter some time ago, and felt like a guilty, degraded wretch when I was doing it, and now I am glad I got into the Station House, because it will teach me never to so far forget all moral principle as to compliment a police force again."

"Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest
political end. - Liberty is the only object which benefits all alike, and
provokes no sincere opposition - The danger is not that a particular class
is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern. - Power tends to
corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
--Lord Action (1834-1902)

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it...Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)

Sadly, welcome to Canada. Mr. Twain would certainly have included my home-and-native-land if he had better foresight |

(paraphrased) Government can not make any action "legal". It can only prohibit activities, or get out of the way.

Not only did I do an actual LOL when I read this, I committed it to memory, and got my 7 year old nephew to play the answering role. I'm thinking of recording it, sending Marc the .wav of it, and he could perhaps add a link next to the "Respect My Authori-tie!" audio, now have a cute young boy saying "There *is* no freakin' state!" ;D |
