"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over lousy fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world’s great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to Complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage."
 
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.

A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities.

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.

Correct on both counts, congrats!
 
Well, I for one, certainly miss the days when men were men. Rugged, brawny and mature. Not only could they grow facial hair, but the lines on their faces told a story, added character, and therefore, their roles were believable.

They also targeted a wider audience; and it wasn't because of a multimillion dollar budget. Men wanted to be them; women wanted to be rescued by them. *S*

The same can also be said of women - Then and Now. I've compiled a few pictures below, and would love to hear everyone's thoughts. True, classic beauty (in my opinion!) versus what society deems 'sexy' today...

... food for thought. *S*
 
“A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions.... He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience a sense of self-esteem. The man who is proudly certain of his own value, will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer--because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement.”
 
“The greatest guilt of today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!”
 
“It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence.”
 
Random thoughts in no particular order, following no particular theme...

.....It's well nigh time to begin avoiding the "person below/above you" threads. They really make this a virtual playground, complete with juvenile one-upsmanship and competition for the limited attention spans of those who might not even be looking for someone to pay attention to. More power to those who frequent them; I'm always available here for conversation, debate, banter, and the like.

.....Sadly underused word department: TWERP

.....Read The Shallows. ESPECIALLY if you immediately clicked on the hyperlink before finishing the rest of this post.

.....Then, assuming you plan on voting in this year's elections, read the Constitution of the United States of America.

....Read it again. Focus on the Bill of Rights.

....Then look at the candidates' voting records with emphasis on bills affecting those most basic of rights ostensibly guaranteed by the Constitution.

....Once you've done all that, make an informed choice. I won't presume to advise once candidate above any other, I only ask you to be a responsible, engaged citizen. Don't vote how sound bites on your preferred talking head channel tell you to vote.

....If you don't plan on voting, immediately Shut.The.Fuck.Up with your complaining about the government, what it is or isn't doing for you, or what it's doing wrong. Your candidate might not win, but if did nothing you have no ground to stand on. Repeat after me: "Baaaaaa'aaa"
 
I'm such a nice guy, I'll save you the first google search...
