    "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws" — Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild

    ¤=[Post Update]=¤

    "If the people only understood the rank injustice of our Money and Banking system, there would be a revolution before morning."
    - Andrew Jackson

    “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce... And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.”
    - President James Garfield (he was assassinated within 4 months).

    Albert Einstein, quoted in H Eves Mathematical Circles Adieu (Boston 1977).
    A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.

    here's one for fun:

    Time is a very versatile performer when you think about it:

    -It Flies;
    -It Marches On;
    -It Heals All Wounds;
    -It Runs Out, and
    -It Will Tell.......

    Time makes concessions for love and life ~ But it does not for death.

    A few from an old favourite, Joe Sobran:

    Quote The attempt to silence a man is the greatest honour you can bestow on him. It means that you recognise his superiority to yourself.
    Quote The difference between a politician and a pickpocket is that the pickpocket doesn't get indignant when you tell him to keep his hands to himself.
    Quote At the end of a century that has seen the evils of communism, Nazism and other modern tyrannies, the impulse to centralize power remains amazingly persistent.
    Quote In 100 years we have gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school to teaching Remedial English in college.
    Quote It is sheer lunacy to believe that there are two separate political parties, vying for power. If this were true, the newly elected party would repeal those laws made by the other with which they had disagreed. What they do instead, is to build upon them.
    Quote If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist.
