In 1916, a minister and outspoken advocate for liberty, William J. H. Boetcker, published a pamphlet entitled *The Ten Cannots *<http://patriotpost.us/news/the_ten_cannots.asp>.
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift." "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong." "You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich." "You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred." "You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence." "You cannot help small men by tearing down big men." "You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer." "You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income." "You cannot establish security on borrowed money." "You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves." -- http://votetom4council.webs.com/ http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com/ www.moliberty.org "lite a fire for a man he'll be warm for a day, lite the man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life". Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.) In fact, there is a direct correlation between loyalty to one's spouse and the "trustworthiness, sincerity, honesty and strength of leadership" required to lead a nation. ~John Edwards~ "no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it" ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ Save your property rights www.mo-cpr.org http://www.radiofreeliberty.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ This is a Free Speech forum.
