“The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. ... [T]he long-term solution is to dismantle, not reform, the iron fist of the welfare state and the controlled economy. This includes the end (not the reform) of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, the SEC, the FDA, HUD, the departments of HHS, Labor, Agriculture, and energy, and every other agency that takes money from some and gives it to others or interferes with peaceful behavior.” PeopleGivingLongEndsStatesGovernmentTodayLyingEnergyTermUnitedUnited StatesEconomyBehaviorSolutionsLaborThreatPeacefulReformWelfareLong TermAgencyDepartmentIronControlledAgricultureInterfereFistsState GovernmentWelfare StateIrsFdaUnited States Government Author:Jacob G.

“In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long trek. Coolies had been engaged from a tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The traveler had high hopes of a speedy journey. But the second morning these jungle tribesmen refused to move. For some strange reason they just sat and rested. On inquiry as to the reason for this strange behavior, the traveler was informed that they had gone too fast the first day, and that they were now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies.” FirstsLongSoulReasonBodyMovingWaitingMorningGoneJourneyStrangeBehaviorSatEngagedLoadTravelerTribesInquiryJungle Author:Lettie Cowman

“[G]enes make enzymes, and enzymes control the rates of chemical processes. Genes do not make "novelty seeking" or any other complex and overt behavior. Predisposition via a long chain of complex chemical reactions, mediated through a more complex series of life's circumstances, does not equal identification or even causation.” LongDoeProcessCircumstancesEqualBehaviorSeriesComplexesRateSeekingReactionsChainsChemicalsGenesNoveltyIdentificationCausationChemical ReactionsEnzymes Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“We are inescapably the result of a long heritage of learning, adaptation, mutation and evolution, the product of a history which predates our birth as a biological species and stretches back over many thousand millennia... Going further back, we share a common ancestry with our fellow primates; and going still further back, we share a common ancestry with all other living creatures and plants down to the simplest microbe. The further back we go, the greater the difference from external appearances and behavior patterns which we observe today.” LongStillsTodayDifferencesResultsCommonGreaterShareProductsEvolutionBirthThousandCreaturesBehaviorFellowsPlantSpeciesPatternsAppearanceHeritageSimplestAdaptationAncestryLiving CreaturesPrimatesMutationMicrobesBehavior PatternsExternal Appearance Author:Fred Hoyle
