The one thing our Founding Fathers could not foresee - they were farmers, professional men, businessmen giving of their time and effort to an idea that became a country - was a nation governed by professional politicians who had an interest in getting reelected.  They probably envisioned a fellow serving a couple of hitches and then eagerly looking forward to getting back to the farm                 RONALD REAGAN

A Future to Lose

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

Senator Hayakawa, after switching political parties, was asked what the difference was between the 2 parties.  He replied with this analogy.  If a man was drowning 50 feet from shore, a Democrat would throw him 100 feet of rope.  A Republican would throw him 25 feet of rope and holler, “I’ll meet you half way”.  Notice that in both cases the man drowns.

The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both the other classes.            ARISTOTLE

Robert A Heinlein is quoted as saying “It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.”   We dare not grant the religious right any more power or we will all lose our freedoms.
