J and cal, right again.

J Carlton and Cal said well. Check out the old movie "Inherit the Wind" with Spencer Tracy playing Clarence Darrow.

If I had young children, I sure wouldn't want them reading Cosmo or any of the trash in the grocery checkout line. However, I have little use for busybody groups like "The Womens Christian Temperance Union" who worked so hard to give us prohibition in 1920.

It's just a short step from here to book burning, seig heil.

Those Washington Nannies are very busy these days" protecting" us from us." What with light bulbs, toilets, transfats,electric cars,smoking, drug wars, and a thousand other things that bother them, they must not get much sleep at night.

Our elected officials inside the beltway do not represent the people of this country and haven't for years. Don't expect it to change much after the next election.

We punish this band of thugs by reelecting them over and over. As to American voters, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

Go back to Germany around 1939 for a fine example of this quote.

Wouldn't it be nice if insider trading was the worse thing our congress was doing.

Since our "public servants" became the masters.

Our current Dictator in Chief fears the internet and would love to control it from his throne in the Oval office. The Libs own the newspapers and the major TV news outlets so our last, best hope to get the truth out is the internet.

Cops are putting up roadblocks all over the place stopping cars to check for drugs and drunk drivers. These traffic stops remind us of the same sort of thing that took place in Soviet Russia and the Eastern European countries when they were behind the ""Iron Curtain." Traffic is always curtailed in communist countries. The sheeple will always put up with this sort of thing because they are only doing this " for our own good".

Unfortunatly, Obama is not a moron, he knows exactly what he is doing, and that is to wreck the economy of this country.

"Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure". L.Neal Smith

The Congress and the Dictator in Chief in the Oval Office are proof of this quote.

Well maybe at 5 bucks per gallon.

That's plain enough that even a liberal can understand it, well, maybe not.

Suzy, don't bet your life on it. Many of the "sheeple" are to lazy to vote and these pesky gas prices are working against our Dictater in Chief. At 4 bucks per gallon, people will wake up so stop with the defeatest talk.

The best government is the one that governs the least. I'm not sure that "best" and "government" belong in the same sentence. Thomas Paine said, "Government, even in it's best state, is but a necessary evil, in it's worst state an intolerable one."

One things for sure, the "majority" ain't always "right".

Might be some symbolic meaning here , just not sure what it is. I doubt that this would be much comfort to someone chained in one of Fidel's prisons.

I have serious doubts about" TheWisdom of Mankind" as I've seen little evidence of it. To the concentration of power in Washington, thanks go to Abraham Lincoln. As to "one man one vote" I quote H.L.Mencken. "Government brokers in pillage and elections are a sort of advance auction of stolen goods".

I'm with J on this one.

If almost anything is said often enough, it becomes a "fact" even when it's absurd. Like someone said, " It ain't what we don't know that causes all the trouble, it's what we do know that ain't so".

"Government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction of stolen goods", H.L. Mencken
