“How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! how short his time! and consequently how poor will his products be, compared with those accumulated by nature during whole geological periods. Can we wonder, then, that nature's productions should be far 'truer' in character than man's productions; that they should be infinitely better adapted to the most complex conditions of life, and should plainly bear the stamp of far higher workmanship?” MenShouldWholeCharacterWishPoorEffortWonderConditionsProductsBearsHigherPeriodsComplexesEnvironmentalProductionsStampsFleetingAdaptedWorkmanship Book:The origin of species (low cost).

“Our Founding Fathers were proud that Americans were trusted with arms because they knew that only when people are armed could they truly be thought of as free citizens. And that's where the circle closes. Those who want to deprive you of your right to keep and bear arms are intending to deprive you of your freedom, period. Like the criminals their policies encourage, these elitists know that it is always best to disarm victims before you enslave them.” PeopleKnowsWantFatherPolicyArmsBearsProudCitizensPeriodsVictimCriminalsCirclesTrustedFoundingOur Founding FathersElitistYour Freedom Author:Charley Reese
