"I would have government defend the life and property of all citizens equally; protect all willing exchange; suppress and penalize all fraud, all misrepresentation, all violence, all predatory practices; invoke a common justice under law; and keep the records incidental to these functions... Let governments do these things and do them well. Leave all else to men [and women] in free and creative effort." - Leonard E. Read

[Quote No.32791] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Governments, politicians and citizens should remember...] You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." - Dr. Adrian Rogers

[Quote No.32825] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Self-Defense and Martial Arts:] In the eyes of public opinion, possessing a 'just cause' for waging war is central. A war is said to be 'Just' if it is waged on [self-defense] moral, religious or ethical grounds... the Just War theory in its modern day version is an integral part of war propaganda and media disinformation, applied to gain public ['heart and mind' as well as financial] support for a war... [and to] prevent people from thinking... analyzing facts and challenging the legitimacy of the... war.
War becomes peace, a worthwhile 'humanitarian undertaking', Peaceful dissent becomes heresy. [It has been used by every government to justify every war. It behooves the citizenry to understand this political-military strategy and therefore to be prudently skeptical and to use their free speech, assembly and voting rights to ensure that the war is truly justified and the last resort.]
" - Michel Chossudovsky

"Because we are all born different, equality of our life's starting point, journey and result is impossible. In fact I would argue that it would in fact be undesirable, because we all want different things. What I do however feel is desirable and within our power is to treat each person equally, with the exception of those that start at a severe disadvantage, who I believe should be assisted to reach their full potential for the good of themselves and others to the degree that they are able to demonstrate their efforts to do it for themselves." - Luke Westmoreland
