“Beneath a free government there is nothing but the intelligence of the people to keep the people's peace. Order must be preserved, not by a military police or regiments of horse-guards, but by the spontaneous concert of a well-informed population, resolved that the rights which have been rescued from despotism shall not be subverted by anarchy.” PeopleWellsHas BeensGovernmentOrderRightsMilitaryHorsePolicePopulationConcertsAnarchySpontaneousDespotismFree GovernmentMilitary Police Book:Orations and Speeches on Various Occasions Source: Orations and Speeches on Various Occasions
“Parents are used to being made to feel guilty about...their contribution to the population problem, the school tax burden, and declining test scores. They expect to be blamed by teachers and psychologists, if not by police. And they will be blamed by the children themselves. It is hardy a wonder, then, that they withdraw into what used to be called "permissiveness" but is really neglect.” IfsFeelsChildrenMadeProblemSchoolUsedParentWonderTeacherTaxesTestsPolicePopulationBurdenUsed To BeGuiltyContributionScoreNeglectPsychologistHardyTest ScoresTax BurdenPopulation Problem Author:C.

“What Taika [Watiti] still bring to it [Hunt for the Wilderpeople], it really sums up what life is like in New Zealand, or what our sensibilities, our sense of humor, how we come together, how easy it would be, feels like.

“Further, an excess of legislation defeats its own ends. It makes the whole population criminals, and turns them all into police and police spies.

“In its proper constitutional sense, the term [militia] means all the able-bodied people who can be trained and disciplined to act in the community’s defence when it’s attacked. Since it encompasses every able-bodied person, it does not refer to those—such as the police, the military, or even the National Guard—who formally compose the official defence forces of the nation. Every citizen able and willing to act in an emergency becomes a potential defender against attacks aimed at the general population.” PeopleMeanPersonsDoeAbleForceNationsTermCommunityMilitaryWillingCitizensPolicePopulationOfficialsEmergenciesDefenceDefendersMilitiaNational Guard Author:Alan Keyes

“Extensive violations of human rights (torture, forced reduction of living standards for much of the population, police-sponsored death squads, destruction of representative institutions or of independent unions, etc.) are directly correlated with US government support. The linkage is not accidental; rather it is systematic. The reason is obvious enough. Client fascism often improves the business climate for American corporations, quite generally the guiding factor in foreign policy.” HumansReasonEnoughGovernmentSupportRightsPolicyStandardsDestructionPoliceIndependentInstitutionsUnionsClimateHuman RightsPopulationObviousFactorsCorporationsTortureEtcFascismForeign PolicyRepresentativesClientsViolationReductionSystematicSquadLinkagesViolation Of Human Rights Author:Noam Chomsky

“I don’t know why liberals want to disarm the law-abiding population, but I do know that not a single argument proffered stands the light of facts.

“People that have a police car behind them pulling them over should put on their hazard lights and continue slowly driving to the nearest densely populated public place, such as a supermarket or shopping center. Pull over outside the busy entrance and start your video camera. Inform the police officer that you are video recording and very slowly give the requested documentation. Exercise your legal right to silence while the many independent witnesses video record the unexpected stop that rudely interrupts your day. If you are given a ticket, choose to go to court. It will give you time to obtain independent legal advice about the allegation.” PeopleTimeGivenSilenceAdviceCarPoliceIndependentCourtBusyPopulationDrivingVideoUnexpectedShoppingRightPullingRudeDayChoosePolice BrutalityPolicemenGivePolice OfficerPlaceStartDenseStopPolice CorruptionLegalPolice StatePublicManyAboutOutsideDocumentationBehindAllegationsLightsVeryPolicemanCameraContinueRecordCenterInformPullSlowlyObtainRecordingWhileTicketSupermarketWitnessesHazardMallEntranceExcercisePopulatedRequestedNearestRudelyAllegationInterruptsDensely Author:Steven Magee
