Again,a morsal of Truth.I believe that those who try to live at the expense of the state are,in many ways, deterring us as a nation from obtainig our true potential and enabling and encouraging"The System" to act as if it were a parasite.Drawing its nourishment from the productive citizen and feeding the non-productive citizen.Encouraging the non-productive citizen to rely totally on "The System".This is not a productive relationship for anyone.

I believe this to be true.If the ideologies of patriotism and the values that shaped this country are today considered to be radical and a threat to the United States,then this is not the United States I want to live in.But I love the country this used to be so I will become part of the solution to the problem of a country gone astray from it's Founding Principles.If Thomas Jefferson,Thomas Paine and the other Founding Fathers were here today,we would be close associates.

A little wordy but this statement conjures up images of "the" New World Order and one individuals perception of it's formation/function.A 31 yo. quote but as contemporary as yesterday.

LOL. Will Rogers sure had a way of saying some things. Presenting this truth in a humorus way. Well said.

True. Great quote. It's quotes like this that can spawn great deeds from great people. A great inspirational quote! Powerful! I love it.

Damn Right ! Amen. A great quote. This quote should be printed on 150 million t-shirts and handed out to each american on July 4th of every year.

Hmmm....interesting.A little wordy but interesting.

Another piece of Truth. I love it.

Plato speaks the Truth here.

True.

Thoreau was a man of vision and substance.His writings beckon us to think on a different level.We sure could use more people like him in the 21st century.

Hmmm...."Nor be deprived of liberty or property without due process of law and just compensation"? In what country,if any,does this statement apply? I think I would like to move there.

Great words from a great man. We need more people of his caliber at the helm of our nation in the 21st century.

Indeed.

AMEN !

There is only one court I am concerned with. That is The Court of Christ where we stand in judgement for the total of our actions. Love one another.
