F. Scott Fitzgerald Quote 

"Either you think -- or else others have to
think for you and take power from you,
pervert and discipline your natural tastes,
civilize and sterilize you."

This is not true in the case of personal power.Personal power can be weakened but the only way to lose it is to give it up.

Most of the liberal and conservative's babababbel in this blog prove out this quote. The socialist and fascist agendas of today's intellectual rabble don't have a pregnant idea between them. A nation of individual sovereign nobles think for themselves, all else is sterile perversion, and will collapse under the weight of its own forced sterility.

"Think" is not the key, heck the lowest form of citizen (e.g. people like Bush) "think", the problem is that they do not "think clearly", that their logic is fuzzy and perverted.

Just like a liberal to deny this quote because it's the wrong type of thinking. Rather like talking about horses, and we should not talk unles it's about "big" horses.

Sorry, Mike. The SPAM filter was filtering 'cialis' -- however, that word is found in the word 'socialist'. ;-) It has been resolved. Thanks!

This is absolutely true! If you don't direct your life, someone will direct it for you.

How appropriate that "cialis" is found in the word "socialist", considering its use.
