A government big enough to give you everything you want
is a government big enough to take away everything you have.




Any government that can silence its critics
has a license for any kind of atrocity.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear - Johnny Mathis


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5NMG1KYEA

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18

Not something on audio or video, but two of my great grandsons got together and made a birthday cake--for Jesus. We sang Happy Birthday, and the little kids got to blow out the candles, (one for every 253 years...)

I don't think I will ever look at "Happy Birthday" the same again.

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.
