  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Just make sure it's a steep enough hill!  I tried that once on a hill that wasn't quite steep enough, and ended up having to push the thing back up the hill - further up past my parking place - and give it a running start.

Try driving a car with a leaky hydraulic clutch cylinder.

  • Fill cylinder with fluid.

  • Start car in neutral.

  • Push car backwards out onto road.

  • Push forward aligning into traffic lane.

  • Push down clutch and quickly shift into first as fluid leaks out of cylinder.

  • Slowly release clutch, hoping engine does not stall.

  • Shift into 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. without engaging clutch.

  • Pray you can make it all the way to work without hitting a stop sign or red light.

I had to do this for a week while waiting for a replacement cylinder for an '80 Honda Prelude.  I had a hill to park on at work, so I could save that one clutch push in case I needed it on the way home.  But it was flat ground at my house.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] 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."     -Ayn Rand-

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
