"Asked random questions about the First Amendment and how they would
like to have it applied, if you believe in polls at all, the average
American wants no part of it. But if you ask, 'What if we threw the
Constitution away tomorrow?' the answer is 'No, that would be bad!'
But living under the Constitution is another story altogether."

~ Frank Zappa  

"Law logic -- an artificial system of reasoning,
exclusively used in courts of justice,
but good for nothing anywhere else."

penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it,
and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised."

~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi  

"If something is wrong for you or me, it is also wrong for the cop, the soldier, the mayor, the governor, the general, the Fed chairman, the president. Theft does not become acceptable when they call it taxation, counterfeiting when they call it monetary policy, kidnapping when they call it the draft, mass murder when they call it foreign policy. We understand that it is never acceptable to wield violence nor the threat of violence against the innocent, whether by the mugger or the politician."

"We have on the one hand a desperate need; hunger, sickness, and the dread of war. We have, on the other, the conception of something that might meet it: omnicompetent global technocracy.

~ C. S. Lewis  

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."

"Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."

~ John Adams
