Never forget what you were all doing when you first saw it

Me I was reading

**Decadence** · January 20th, 2018, 09:36 PM

1913-1994

"Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it."

"Nothing would please the Kremlin more than to have the people of this country choose a second rate president."

"Any nation that decides the only way to achieve peace is through peaceful means is a nation that will soon be a piece of another nation."

"I know you heard what you thought I said, but what I said isn't what I meant."

"As you know, the separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration. Under our Constitution no church or religion can be supported by the U.S. Government. We maintain freedom of religion so that an American can either worship in the church of his choice or choose to go to no church at all.

"I don't think a woman should be in any government job whatever. I mean, I really don't. The reason why I do is mainly because they are erratic. And emotional."

"I didn't do anything wrong and I promise to never do it again."

"I would not like to be a political leader in Russia. They never know when they're being taped."

"Capitalism works better than it sounds, while socialism sounds better than it works."

"Rarely have so many people been so wrong about so much."

"A politician knows that his friends are not always his allies, and that his adversaries are not always his enemies."

"I learned that the people who have the cards are usually the ones who talk the least and the softest; those who are bluffing tend to talk loudly and give themselves away."

"Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too."

"Federal and state laws (should) be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use."

"The worst thing a politician can be is dull. At least I'm interesting."

1905-1982

"We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality"

"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide."

"Capitalism has been called a system of greed—yet it is the system that raised the standard of living of its poorest citizens to heights no collectivist system has ever begun to equal, and no tribal gang can conceive of."

"If a businessman makes a mistake, he suffers the consequences. If a bureaucrat makes a mistake, you suffer the consequences."

"When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice, you may know that your society is doomed."

"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority."

"The Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."

"Emotions are not tools of cognition. They tell you nothing about the nature of reality."

"The difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is a matter of time."

"The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master."

"Let no man posture as an advocate of peace if he proposes or supports any social system that initiates the use of force against individual men, in any form."

"So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?"

"If a society is to be free, its government has to be controlled."

As soon as I found this thread it became my favorite of all the excellent ones on this forum. But I have just realised that it is an amusement, even a pointless indulgence. Because, with all the wise words quoted here about concepts such as freedom, or equality, or tolerance, or peace, how do you explain such things to someone to whom the instructions on a soup can are a trial?

How do you describe freedom to one who's life is a constant toil of back-breaking work paid with a pittance?

How do you explain equality to a race of men who's wives are kept in virtual slavery and have been for 10,000 years, and the practice is condoned by their religion and it's modern-day preachers?

How do you expect someone who hasn't had a day's schooling in their life and gets murderous if they can't have the latest fashionable trainer to grasp the meaning of tolerance?

And how do you broker peace amongst men who have been born and brought up in war with their neighbour and for whom death is a daily companion?

The greatest of men, those whose words and thoughts deserve to be posted here for the inspiration of us all, are those that see the futility of their endeavours and yet continue to teach these concepts because not to try is to accept that they are not important, that their opposites: inequality, slavery, bigotry, war and all the evils in this world can exist without fear.

Police reform is working, and crime is falling

~ Theresa May

Don't think about your errors or failures; otherwise, you'll never do a thing

I thought it was a fart Sir , I thought it was safe

@rewbear

The rules of life are unfair by definition. It's a perpetual exchange of energy.
Without energy, we die.
We want to be ethical?
1) We have to stop to eat.
2) If we still want to live, at least we don't have to exploit sentient creatures to steal their energy and then we don't have reproduced ourself, knowing that life is unfair.

That's seems to be extreme, but today, with our actual knowledge, that seems to be the unique solution.
