mutilated misquotes
from Michael Hipp's 27 Sep 2005 classic prose
may follow:
" Correct. Any time the government begins these kind of "preemptive"
" actions, it can only go down hill. It may all be benign for now, but the
" time will come when the power will be abused. It is one-hundred-percent
bzzztt! ...extremely inappropriate use of future tense... <g>
" guaranteed.
" I'm all for controlling our borders, but harassing visitors who have a
" legal right to come here accomplishes nothing.
" No offense intended. This is a touchy subject. With few easy answers.
I find the answer very easy: you pay your own bills and I will pay
my own bills - very generally interpreted and very broadly applied.
To those who would say that there are practical difficulties with liberty,
my response would be to parrot, not unthinkingly, the following two
quotes, both attributed to Thomas Jefferson:
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much
liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
and
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of
liberty."

"Gold needs no endorsement, it can be tested with scales and
acids. The recipient of gold does not have to trust the government
stamp upon it, if he does not trust the government that stamped it.
No act of faith is called for when gold is used in payments, and
no compulsion is required." -Benjamin M. Anderson
