The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
What climate change promoted quicksand (which has been around a lot longer than humans).

Maybe the retreating ice sheets allowed it there, but that was caused by mammoth farts...

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 about every TV western in the 1950s and 1960s had at least one quicksand incident per season. Global warming!! Climate change!!

A friend and I walked over to Sims Bayou, at the end of our street, and saw a friend's big brother standing in a quicksand pool. That quicksand was really thick. We asked him what he was doing and he said he wanted to see how deep it went. So we sat down and watched him. When he was down to his waist, he yelled to us to help him out. So we began arguing on who was going to help him out. When he was down to his arm pits, we agreed that we would both get him out, but we both had to go in the same distance. There was a tree sapling close by, we bent over to him and let him pull his own self out.
