Another good famous saying from a famous Greek.

a famous Greek Philosopher strikes again.

Brilliant words from a brilliant thinker.

All they need to start loading the cattle cars and stoking the ovens is the same mantra that the Nazis used, "for the good of the people." Come to think of it, the communists use the same raison d'etre. People will stand by and watch "As long as it isn't me or my family." But what will you do when they come knocking on your door in the middle of the night? Laugh now if you think its funny, but all you have to do is remember a short while back and recall how Janet Reno solved social problems with Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the little Cuban boy who was whisked off in the middle of the night by her jack-booted government thugs.

I think every elected official should have to recite this and understand it prior to taking office. Maybe part of the Pledge of allegiance

This doesn't mean to not love anyone, you can love! It is the clinging that brings you woes.

Effortless money (that would be credit) leads people to believe that the good times will roll on forever. There were a lot of people who got sucked into the Cinderella trap. Now all of their fairy finery is turning back into filthy rags and pumpkins (exactly what they could afford to begin with).

Krugman has a cracker jack Nobel prize like Al Gore you know. Give him the respect he deserves (that would be none, of course).

Right On! Sir Richard

very true

Like I said Mike it does not work that way. You are entitled to your say your opinion but than God you are not controlling as I perceive you wish to be. What you lack is a respect for the opinions of others.

It is a problem already at hand, struggling in the snare. As we are all hooked together in some manner, even if it is by sharing a fence, we are attached. The grocery store is the biggest chain around the ankle. We voted the wolf to rule even if we didn't personally cast a vote for the wolf because we weren't working to see that the wolf didn't get elected. And, this is NOT a lone wolf, this is a pack of wolves and they are already eating the innocent...and tho you may not feel the fangs in your neck today, it won't be much longer until you do...10 million people who work nationwide in the oil industry are going to be out of a job in just a few weeks. We will be starved into submission...to a dictatorship...who would have guessed this could have happened to such a wonderful, generous, God fearing country.

As most are not blessed with great wealth (are we talking Rockerfeller, Soros, Immeld, Gates, etc., here?), but only what the people have worked for and with luck saved for a rainy day, I find this a little off-putting...to see those first few comments. But we don't have a list of those who work, save, and create their own nestegg so I am supposing that to complain of others who may have done so is because someone who didn't wants the savings of those who did. In fact, I would travel the road to suggest that those who have the really big accounts: the afore mentioned...will work to get at the savings of the little guy who saved for that rainy day. So what will happen here is the rich will get richer, the poor will remain poor, and those who were worker bees, will get poor...because of the current corruption. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGZFgMNM-UU part1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXNqFQmGxDU part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4XFvq5XMk8 part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnclKiHwatw part 4

Fuck the government, I want my personal liberties back.

True freedom is absolutely individual and is absolutely independent of others. Even a slave can be free because the master can only hold his body in chains. Real freedom (freedom of the mind and conscience) must be claimed as an individual right that is a right by the very nature of the universe; a right that cannot be interfered with by anyone.

Amen to that, Freedom Forever!!!

They that deny a God destroy man's nobility; for certainly man's of kin to the beasts by his body; and if he be not of kin to God by his spirit; he is a base and ignoble creature....Sir Francis Bacon, "Of Atheism"

Muskrats and potted plants remind me of socialists.

Inspiring words from a great man in History.

Liberty my ass. There is no freedom, only slavery to the ruling elite. Down with America.

yeah, that's what liberty is. Not a bunch of pampered whoreson's, fighting men and women is what it consists of.

You need to punch out more than Bush and Co...you could start with todays administration and go backwards to about 1913...and the point is...we have NO HONORABLE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS (well,yes ~10%). They all take an Oath...This is the Oath of Office for Congress: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God. Our representatives take this Oath and then they take a leak on the Constitution like they had never uttered the above words. We elected them, it is our responsibility to vote them out and to have a voice on all bills before congress...we can't pass the buck...THAT is how we ended up here. So SPEAK UP! There are liberty candidates that run, but they don't have the money for ads and media and the people vote like sheep going to slaughter for the name they hear the most. They don't want to 'throw away a vote'...where is the morality of that kind of thinking? KNOW THE CANDIDATES and vote for the one who will HONOR YOU by supporting the LAW. The dude is wrong. People don't need to think in a different way...they need to THINK period.

Why is it that America can spend it's money on military bases, mercenary armies and other pointless spending, but not on things that make humanity great? Like more space exploration, more alternative energies, better education for the less fortunate, more jobs and above all else: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!!!!! We have been a morally bankrupt nation for far too long. No more reckless spending, no slaps on the wrist for war criminals like Bush and Co. and no more foreign occupations.
