The notion of 'diversity' entails exactly the same premises as racism -- that one's ideas are determined by one's race and that the source of an individual's identity is his ethnic heritage.~ Peter SchwartzPolitically, true individualism means recognizing that one has a right to his own life and happiness. But it also means uniting with other citizens to preserve and defend the institutions that protect that right.~ Shawn E. Klein Feb 25, 2020Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long.~ Lucius Annaeus SenecaFor often evil men are rich, and good men poor; But we will not exchange with them Our virtue for their wealth since one abides always, While riches change their owners every day.~ SolonWhen a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.~ Thomas Jefferson Feb 24, 2020There is not a more important and fundamental principle in legislation, than that the ways and means ought always to face the public engagements; that our appropriations should ever go hand in hand with our promises.

Anyone who defends any of these, or any variation of them, on the grounds of their 'good intentions' is an immoral (NOT 'amoral') enabler of the ACTUAL (not just the proverbial) road to hell.~ Rick GaberWe create an environment where it is alright to hate, to steal, to cheat, and to lie if we dress it up with symbols of respectability, dignity and love.~ Whitney Moore, Jr. Feb 20, 2020In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king.~ Desiderius ErasmusEverything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind.~ Henry MillerI think it might be important to point out that this country is a one-party country.
