“There's one bright spot in the generally gloomy picture know as the Pacific Conflict Zone. According to my calculations, by the year 2500 or so we should have killed off every last member of our species who is stupid enough to take part in so futile a pastime as this war between "ideals," and with luck they won't have left their genes behind because they'll typically have been killed at an age when society thinks they're too young to assume the responsibility of childbearing. After that we may get some peace and quiet for a change.” ThinkingKnowsShouldYearsMayHas BeensWarEnoughAgeLastsYoungLeftBehindsResponsibilityStupidQuietConflictMembersIdealsShould HaveLuckAssumingSpeciesSpotsZoneGenesCalculationsPacificGloomyPastimePeace And QuietChildbearing Author:John Brunner
“I have a recurring daymare that when the Glorious People's SWAT Teams smash their way in, most of us - by which I mean members of the general freedom movement - will be caught flatfooted, sitting in our underwear behind our computer monitors, guzzling Jolt and gorging on Cheetos, while arguing with our friends and enemies online about immigration or abortion, two of the issues that the Lefties know they can always rely on to keep that general freedom movement divided and powerless.” PeopleKnowsWayMeanTwoBehindsEnemyIssuesTeamMovementMembersComputerSittingCaughtArguingImmigrationRelyGloriousAbortionOnlineDividedPowerlessUnderwearRecurringFriends And EnemiesLefties Author:L.

“Strong families use the word "we" a lot, but "I" is never forgotten.

“Whatever way you put it, I am here only because my world is here. When I took my first breath, my world was born with me. When I die, my world dies with me. In other words, I wasn't born into a world that was already here before me, nor do I live simply as one individual among millions of other individuals, nor do I leave everything behind to live on after me. People live thinking of themselves as members of a group or society. However, this isn't really true. Actually, I bring my own world into existence, live it out, and take it with me when I die.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayFirstsDiesIndividualBornMy OwnBehindsExistenceMillionsGroupsMembersBreathsReally TrueLive SimplyMy Own World Book:Opening the Hand of Thought: Approach to Zen Source: Opening the Hand of Thought: Approach to Zen

“I want Christians to consider who they vote for. We look a lot at the presidential elections. And that's where so much of our focus is, especially from the media, but some of the most important elections are the local elections - the mayors, city council members, county commissioners, school boards. How important school boards are - and we need to get Christian men and women running for office. We need Christian men and women not only running for office, but voting and getting behind other Christians that are running for office.” MenWantNeedsLooksImportantRunningSchoolChristianCitiesBehindsFocusMediaMembersOfficeMen And WomenVoteElectionLocalsPresidentialBoardsVotingCouncilCountyMayorsPresidential ElectionCommissionersRunning For OfficeSchool BoardCity Council Author:Franklin Graham
