Notable Quotable 162
There's a War Crimes Act in the United States passed by a Republican Congress in 1996, which says that grave breaches of the Geneva Convention are subject to the death penalty. And that doesn't mean the soldier that committed them - that means the commanders.
- Noam Chomsky, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Crimes_Act_of_1996
God and a soldier all people adore
In time of war, but not before;
And when war is over and all things are righted,
God is neglected and an old soldier slighted.

You cannot separate peace and freedom. Because no one can be at peace unless he has freedom.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
- Malcolm X
Persecution readily knits friendship between its victims.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.
- Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.
- Edmund Burke
One of the world's greatest problems is the impossibility of any person searching for the truth on any subject when they believe they already have it.
- Dave Wilbur
Little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything -- you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.
- Robert A. Heinlein Author
The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.
- George Orwell

Yeah forget the lawyer. From what I have heard/read on the subject, if I had legal trouble, I would have a WHOLE lot of homework to do. I am not going to have one of theirs representing me. I will represent MYSELF. I know just enough to make it weird, but not enough to fail to do my homework. Anyway, let's not wish THAT on anyone. And the Losseer and the Wageer are great ones. We should definitely use those terms. Thank you. Nice words. I am keeping a list of words I want to be real, words that I have had to look up. I will now add words that other people point out that are useful. I have saved a few of your images to a file with your name on them so I credit you when I use them. Thanks for your good work!
