Not a fan of the government health care eh?

I'm not really a political person but my mother-in-law is a head charge nurse for one of the biggest hospitals in Washington. According to her, we already pay for the emergency care of millions of people who show up but never pay their bills. With a little bit of preventative care, we could probably save billions on individual treatment.

Never give a sucker an even break - W.C. Fields

Not that I endorse that, but it's fun to throw into a conversation about the general moral decrepitude of mankind. I usually start those conversations.

I like turtles.

That's "birdie num nums".

Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.

-Plato

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

-Aristotle

So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts.

-James Madison

Translation: "Cats eat mice as part of the evolutionary food chain, humans do not naturally eat one another, but that won't stop me from making interspecies analogies out of intraspecies politics."

Would you like fries with that?

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other." - John Stuart Mill


"There is no right not to be offended; indeed, as part of offering free speech to all we must often endure the opinions and expressions of others that strike painfully at the very heart of our most deeply held beliefs. And we, conversely, may tell those people exactly what we think of that in words just as strong, but there is absolutely no place in a free society for any group or figure or institution to claim the privilege of being exempt from ridicule, criticism, or depiction, and particularly to claim it on pain of death." - Laura Hudson
