Reader comments about this quote:

What do I think? I think somebody should explain to me "more more" what? -- Walter Clark, Fullerton CA
Walter, more materialism, more religiously enforced atheism, more socialism, more rules enforced as law, more despotism, more government (statist theocracy), etc. -- Mike, Norwalk 1
Exactly, Mr. Clark. This quote is a stupid one. Without knowing more, it has no meaning. -- dick, fort worth
It doesn't take a lot of depth to understand this one, unless of course one is 'a mistaken soul' ... -- E Archer, NYC 1
Thank you Dick. Someone on my side. Just because it shows up on the best website for quotes on the net... doesn't mean it is good. I suggest Mike takes this one down. As to Mr. Archer's well said point... If one is a mistaken soul, how can one learn from this, if one doesn't understand it? And if like all liberal aphorisms, it is merely to make those who don't have a mistaken soul, feel good, note how useless such a statement is since no one knows what makes up each other's depth. -- Walter Clark, Fullerton CA
Walter, thanks for the compliment but it is one brilliant editor that displays being one step above all of us for the creation of this blog. I'm just a bystander here. -- Mike, Norwalk 1
"There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches." Proverbs 13:7 KJB -- Ronw13, ID 1
