Its a true statement, and I agree with Archer. Yet, I put my hand up in the air and bang my head against the wall asking myself, why are we where we are today?

Well, I don't think there is any more evidence to all this than to look at a few presidents: Nixon, Clinton and Bush Jr.

I like this. We must debate, then only will we see the truth or understand things. Even if understanding or seeing truth is not a motive, we should at least talk, that way we will know strength and weakness within us or within the opponent. This whole preemptive action or preventive action is a mockery of human intelligence.

Well said.

It so vividly reminded me of my days in midlands, a Buddhist in the heart of bible belt. I have no religion, I always question my philosophy, dare I question others. Oh how acutely, I would be looked upon. One phrase always coming out like a bile, "You cannot question GOD." Indeed, for I am a slave and I am destined to go to hell and burn ever so endowed with the pain of pious god fearing humans. ASK ASK ASK, QUESTION QUESTION QUESTION, then only will you see the light. If you don't ask, you will not see the light, you will be a SLAVE.

I give this 3 stars. I agree with lies and damn lines. There are hills and valleys in the statistical graph, but mathematically speaking, you look are trend and regression. Concerning gun control and statistical twisting Mr Joe, may I remind you that we are in the current predicament because we were given false information based on completely false premises, and the big guys completely ignored the false possibilities. What a morons, wouldnt you agree?

My hairs are raised along my spine. Its visceral. Looking at it from political prism, right now here in AK everybody is tad upset with media and lower 48 politics because all the fuss about Ted. Soon enough, people will be furiously opposing any kind of validation of the truth, then when the historians will look back, they will see and say, "oh of course, its quiet evident, bridge to no where, GIVE ME A BREAK!?!?!?"

What surprises me is that the author of the quote is right, but I am just wondering if he is excluding himself. Obviously, because he never lead any kind of government. These days the problem is not blind acceptance of policy, the problem is that people are blindly following people based on some social fad or fashion or celebrity. This whole thing is very convoluted!

Knowledge begets truth, truth begets enlightenment. Authority, be it religious or political, are always trying to make sure people are not fully enlightened, because if they are, in their waking eyes, they would question. Questioning an authority is the most cardinal mistake one could make, well of course, we are the credence void of any light. I wonder, how easy it is then that the founders of any religion or faith or any governmental institution are always in this quest to suppress information.

Enlightenment is the only revolution, and enlightenment is a derivative of truth.

WOW. What an epiphany! Indeed, I do not know on what context this guy came up with that statement and in which planet he was residing or inferring to, but one thing for sure, Lucanus was indeed lunatic. Had it not been for the sword, the power of which they wielded against the powerless, there would not have been slavery.

I am giving Rahm one star only for his audacity to bend the law. While he is at it, would he also please bend the law to unequivocally prosecute anyone in power that tires to take away individual liberty in this country as provided by its founding fathers.

And here I am, listening to bird's chirping overlooking distant clouds rolling in amidst the deep blue northern sky. I wonder, how can this be a substitute to the fume of NYC subway!

So yeah, we live in a free society. Hmm, I wonder and beg to differ.
