My blunt instrument of choice is an old hickory axe handle and it is very hurty... very hurty. -RO Luckily, I have on my person a variety of cutting instruments. They, too, are very hurty. On top of that, I am wearing a Cloak of Invisibility +5... so try to blow me. - RO
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - -- Daniel Webster
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." -- George Washington
Vultures, liars, thieves, each proclaim their innocence In no suggestion or rhyme, your weapon is contained in The wrecking of the keeping the desired effect. The breaking of the spirit thwarts the whole being. ~ Jerry Cantrell

To be conservative requires no brains whatsoever. Cabbages, cows and conifers are conservatives, and are so stupid they don't even know it. All that is basically required is acceptance of what exists. ~ Colin Welch Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world -- and never will. ~ Mark Twain When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung. ~ Henry Ward Beecher I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all for fear of being carried off their feet. The prospect really does frighten me that they may finally become so engrossed in a cowardly love of immediate pleasures that their interest in their own future and in that of their descendants may vanish, and that they will prefer tamely to follow the course of their destiny rather than make a sudden energetic effort necessary to set things right. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche Nothing external to you has any power over you. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's a funny feeling being taken under the wing of a dragon. It's warmer than you'd think. -Amsterdam Vallon, Gangs of New York
