“Abortion on demand is the ultimate State tyranny; the State simply declares that certain classes of human beings are not persons, and therefore not entitled to the protection of the law. The State protects the 'right' of some people to kill others, just as the courts protected the 'property rights' of slave masters in their slaves. Moreover, by this method the State achieves a goal common to all totalitarian regimes: it sets us against each other, so that our energies are spent in the struggle between State-created classes, rather than in freeing all individuals from the State.” PeopleHumansPersonsStatesLawCertainIndividualEnergyGoalHuman BeingsCommonClassStruggleRightsAchieveMastersProtectDemandUltimateMethodCourtPropertySlaveProtectionTyrannyAbortionRegimesProtectedEntitledProperty RightsTotalitarian Regimes Author:Ron Paul
“First, what is a revolution? Sometimes I'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. When you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. You may devise another program. You may change your goal and you may change your mind.” PeopleMindFirstsBelieveMayMeanSometimesUsedGoalResultsStudyRevolutionProgramMethodCarefulObjectivesMotiveCharacteristicsConsiderationHistoricChanging Your Mind Author:Malcolm X

“Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories: those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost.

As a general rule, any object capable of breaking down at the moment when it is most needed will do so.” MenMomentsUsePurposeThreeLostGoalBreakAchieveObjectsNeededMajorsCapableDown AndMethodDefeatCategoriesBreaking DownClassificationInanimate Objects Author:Russell Baker
“What is most disturbing today is that we use rational methods to cultivate the tastes and values of the young in all kinds of educational, religious, and cultural institutions that are predicated on corporate practices and goals.

“Outside observers often assume that the more complicted a piece of mathematics is, the more mathematicians admire it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
