"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
- Thomas Jefferson
“Marx’s socialism may or may not be true scientifically. Yet when people believe in Marxism dogmatically, it becomes a religious belief.“
— Bertrand Russell, Russell on Religion: Selections from the Writings of Bertrand Russell (1999), Part II, Religion and Philosophy, 6. The Essence and Effect of Religion(1921), p. 73
“Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called ‘vital interests.’”
Thank goodness the government is here to protect us from Big Purse. Imagine the chaos if we didn't have the FTC to help us avoid having “too many” accessible luxury handbags under one roof. How would we know the right number?? What would we DO???
Okay but enough of the thought exercise of "You can put one 'fuck' in every Lord of the Rings movie", let's actually approach it as if the characters dropped more F-bombs than Hobbits have meals.
