Of course we want to preserve your rights as Americans...right up until we announce that the US is a mere province of the Global Global Government. Go back to sleep America, your Government has everything under control. ;) -- J Carlton, Calgary
I also like this other Emerson quotation: "Dont say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary." From: http://quotationsbook.com/quote/44938/#ixzz1HfYQYa9T on Quotations Book -- Byron, Fort Collins, CO
Byron, I also like that other quote. Both of them fit today's political arena.

This proves most politicians absolute liars. -- E Archer, NYC
