Stolen and fixed
« on: October 26, 2012, 11:15:53 AM »


In the first place God made idiots.
 That was just for practice.
 Then he made politicians.

Durned Britisher grammer does not translate well into Ammurican.

But it's the thought that counts.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Britisher grammar? Original quote comes from Sam Clemens, aka Mark Twain, a native of Missouri:

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made School Boards.

We are all erring creatures, and mainly idiots, but God made us so and it is dangerous to criticise.

You would be surprised to grasp how much and to what degree we make ourselves stupid.

I know God loves poor people, because he made so many of us.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
