Bishop Desmond Tutu Quote

“We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. We cannot afford to use methods of which we will be ashamed when we look back, when we say, '...we shouldn't have done that.' We must remember, my friends, that we have been given a wonderful cause. The cause of freedom! And you and I must be those who will walk with heads held high. We will say, 'We used methods that can stand the harsh scrutiny of history.'”

Jack Brown, Sebastian

a model for our country, particularly now

That such a sentiment was alive today. Criminal religionists (socialists communists, fascists, progressives, etc.) now control with out conscious; AND, they do not even have it in them to entertain natural law's life, liberty, inalienable rights or individual sovereignty. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land / the macabre death cults killing mind / heart / prosperity have no shame in their methodology of carnage, chaos or destruction.

I try to follow the human system. Its very different than the deceiving god system.  The child's scrutiny is indeed harsh and often painful, but always always wrong, for life is not a game.  The human system is nature's system.

Sillik, I smile while shaking my lowered head. Your demented perceptions would be funny if not so sick and wrong. What god system? Your particular god system (you being god, all knowing and being man's savior) with an ecclesiastical dogma system contrary to nature's law (anti-science, anti-reality, socialism, fiscal chaos / theft, complete with nonsensical word salads and ever changing definitions, etc.). The more you preach of your godhood and religion, the more you expose your mental illness.

Mike, Norwalk,  my mental state is quite healthy, but the problem that presents itself stems from the fact that an individual must possess a legitimate state of mental health themselves to identify my quite mentally balanced condition.  With your present condition, Mike, Norwalk, we are not afforded this luxury.
