The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundnce of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
~Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Cowardice asks the question – is it safe? Expediency asks the question – is it politic? Vanity asks the question – is it popular? But conscience asks the question – is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.
~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them. There is almost no kind of outrage—–torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians .. . which does not change its moral color when it is committed by ‘our’ side. The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.
~George Orwell

I hate it when they say, ‘He gave his life for his country.’ Nobody gives their life for anything. We steal the lives of these kids. We take it away from them. They don’t die for the honor and glory of their country. We kill them.”
~Admiral Gene LaRocque

“A U.S. government official told reporters in Geneva last week that the Bush administration opposes a global agreement that would ban cluster bombs.

If the administration refuses to act, Congress should act by passing the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act.”

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule

It is easy to be conspicuously ‘compassionate’ if others are being forced to pay the cost.
~ Murray N. Rothbard

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
~ Ayn Rand in “The Nature of Government”

The American government creates 50,000 new laws each year, and over 2 million new regulations. Then we are told by the courts that ‘Ignorance of the law is no excuse!

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and thus clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
~ H.L. Mencken 1880-1956 American journalist, satarist, social critic, anti-establishment figure, considered by scholars as one of America’s greatest writers, known as ‘The Sage of Baltimore.’
