“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” - Plato.

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790) - looks like old Benny had a vision of the era we're living in now, in which people are being scared to death so they play along with the bullshit that Bush and his cronies are wreaking on the world.

"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common."
John Locke (August 29, 1632 – October 28, 1704).

And we all know who hates new opinions the most - dirty filthy conservative repiglicunts.



" They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Scott Ritter said:

First of all you have to note, from the public side, that very few Americans actually function as citizens anymore. What I mean by that are people who invest themselves in this country, people who care, who give a damn. Americans are primarily consumers today, and so long as they continue to wrap themselves in the cocoon of comfort, and the system keeps them walking down a road to the perceived path of prosperity, they don't want to rock the boat. If it doesn't have a direct impact on their day-to-day existence, they simply don't care.



"You can stand up and fight for humanity, you can be a decent caring trustworthy upright citizen - or you can be a conservative."

Me - 2008

"I don't waste expensive words on cheap people."

Me - 2009

So if you're a repiglicunt - fuck the fuck off. My university education isn't to be wasted on your high school dropout level of intellect.
