Mencken's Law
"Whenever A annoys or injures B
on the pretense of saving or improving X,
A is a scoundrel."

I just read this, quoted on page 23 of Daniel B. Klein's "3 Libertarian Essays". I highly recommend this book; it is quite brief (at only 89 pages) but every page is filled with rich common-sense illustrations and logically sound and thorough arguments for voluntaryist liberty!

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation." ~ Herbert Spencer.

This is so true of the radio and television business

"-bleep- all those government regulations" - some comic character: www.beavsden.com/stuff/avatars/snuffy_smith.jpg

Just saw that as an avator on a forum completely unrelated to the issue of freedom etc.

*edit* darn, the link is gone and not on archive.org - it was a comic character "Snuffy Smith", single panel, with him upset yelling (in his hick-English) "!@%^ ALL THEM GUBMINT REGLATIONS!" or something like that. Was priceless; I shoulda kept a copy.

French philosopher Blaise Pascal in his work "Pensees", observed: "Men never do evil so completely, fully, totally, and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. "
Its a belief system that motovates all people to do the things they do to others. If you believe its ok to kill someone that disagrees with you, or doesn't believe the same way you do, then you end up with what we have going on in the world today.

I didn't understand this when I was a kid, but I know it to be true now that I'm old. My father is the only one I ever heard say this, so I don't know where it came from or if he made it up.

Here is another one i've heard but I don't know who said it

That reminds me of a Winston Churchhill quote:

"Most men who stumble upon the truth will usually get up, dust
themselves off and go on their way as if nothing had happened."

My oldest son is retarted because the doctor used forceps to deliver him and damaged his brain. Because of that, I have delt with a lot of "proffesional idiots". I have come to some conclusions because of dealing with these people. Here are some quots from me.

In any given class, some will graduate at the bottom of the class. When they go out into the world to work, it doesn't take long before people with average intellegence can tell they aren't very sharp. Many of these people end up working with the retarted or handycaped because they don't complain.

Crazy people don't know they are crazy, they think everybody else is crazy.

Same Mr. Cornforth as mentioned here? thereisnostate.proboards39.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1099939451&start=0 - I started watching the 1st of the 3 videos on the linked page; I liked how he immediately rejected the patriot arguments re. ALL CAPS, Flag tassels, even "staying behind a line because it implies jurisdiction" etc.

"Quite an experience living in fear...Isn't it?.....That's what it is to be a slave."

Roy Batty from "Blade Runner"

I thought Roy was a very interesting character in that movie.

It's from the movie, I believe it's accurate.
