Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both. James Madison

But money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. It will give you the means for the satisfaction of your desires, but it will not provide you with desires. Money is the scourge of the men who attempt to reverse the law of causality- the men who seek to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind. Ayn Rand

By the essence and nature of existence, contradictions cannot exist. If you find one, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. Ayn Rand

About 50% of the adults in this country are simply too damned ignorant and stupid to be living in a free society. These are people who cannot survive without someone else stepping forward to take care of them. . . .One thing that occurs to me is that I am unwilling to surrender my freedoms and economic liberty simply because these idiots can’t cope. That means that they are a danger to me. Neal Boortz
