   "... as a wise man once said many centuries before Christ, there
   is such a thing as leaving mankind alone; there is no such thing
   as governing mankind.  All modes of government are failures.
   Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was
   probably made for better things.  Oligarchies are unjust to the
   many, and ochlocracies are unjust to the few.  High hopes were once
   formed of democracy; but democracy means simply the bludgeoning of
   the people by the people for the people.  It has been found out.
   I must say that it was high time, for all authority is quite
   degrading.  It degrades those who exercise it, and degrades over
   whom it is exercised.  When it is violently, grossly, and cruelly
   used, it produces a good effect, by creating, or at any rate
   bringing out, the revolt and Individualism that is to kill it."

   refusing to understand the obvious and raising law to some undeserving
   lofty height.  The obvious, which can be seen over and over again in
   the few nations that have pretended to be 'Nations of Law', is that all
   law is rooted in corruption, a compromise with evil, and that its
   practice is then nothing more than an abominable hypocricy, an excercise
   in a vacuous sophistry founded on corruption; one can say the same of
   generally inculcated morals, which are founded on nothing more than

   "America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to "the common
   good," but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own
   personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did
   not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the
   people better jobs, higher wages and cheaper goods with every new machine
   they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance --
   and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering,
   every step of the way."

             -- Ayn Rand


   "The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They
   have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of
   government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their
   principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for
   something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out
   of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by
   looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage,
   and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods."

   "I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more
   efficient, for I mean to reduce its size.   I do not undertake to promote

   ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their
   purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden.  I
   will not attempt to discover whether legislation is "needed" before I have
   first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible.   And if I

   "It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his
   own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation;
   that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the
   interests of the nation as a whole ... that above all the unity of a
   nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit
   and will of an individual. .... This state of mind, which subordinates the
   interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the
   first premise for every truly human culture .... we understand only the
   individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow
   man."

             -- Adolf Hitler

   There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the

   All the people I know who are driving for a form of national service,
   primarily want it to be compulsory. They realize that's a terrible problem
   politically, so they're not willing to say it. It is endangerment of

   will not succeed on any meaningful scale unless is is compulsory.

    Centers of power always seek to hide, then rationalize and
    finally justify their iniquities and inevitable corruption.
    With smiling faces do these morally bereft centers commit
    their greatest atrocities - in seclusion and obfuscation,
    and calculated mendacity so even the parts may not know the
    whole.  The development of these centers is ineluctable,
    and their undiluted evil, hence ultimate demise is the result
    of their failure to understand the obvious fact that actions
    not only have consequences, but have consequences that will
    not be known.  My error in this regard may result in my death,
    while a center's error may result in the death of billions.
    Centers of power must therefore be constrained by absolute
    responsibility and accountability.  A compromise with evil
    is no compromise; all governments as centers of power are evil,
    by definition.

    The only form of government and economics that is predicated on
    a reality that, normatively, human beings act in accordance with their
    own interests of self, and therefore the only conditions under which
    human beings can exist, other than as base animals, is Laissez
    Faire Capitalism - yet, human beings routinely act in contradiction
    of this principle, not out of any altruism, but out or sheer stupidity
    and mental derangement; the human species and its existence, is then doomed
    to extinction by its very nature and is, indeed, a lethal mutation and

          and to be shunned beyond everything.
          A man who is truly good and sincere and well--meaning will show it
          by his looks, and no one can fail to see it.

                     -- Marcus Aurelius 


        Quoted by pathologist Ed R. Friedlander in his webpage notes on
        genetics:

        "We [the human race] do not have much time to prove that we are not
         the product of a lethal mutation."
     
                     -- Science 263: 181, 1994
       

        "All that is not information, not redundancy, not form and not
         restraints is noise, the only possible source of new patterns."

                     -- Bateson, Mind and Nature - A Necessary Unity, 1979


        "Should the human race not be extinguished by a nuclear war,
         it will degenerate into a flock of stupid, dumb creatures under
         the tyranny of dictators who rule them with the help of machines
         and electronic computers.  This is no prophecy, just a nightmare."

                      -- Max Born


        "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any
        government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
        Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
        One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes
        impossible to live without breaking laws."

                      -- Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"


       "Whatever you do will be insignificant,
        but it is very important that you do it."

                      -- Mahatma Gandhi


       "The right of freedom of speech and press includes not only
        the right to utter or to print, but the right to distribute,
        the right to receive, the right to read ... and freedom of
        inquiry, fredom of thought, and the freedom to teach ..."

       "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little
        temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

        A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate
        care that the balances are correct.

                      -- Bene Gesserit Axiom


        A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob
        from a people.  He maintains the level of individuals.  Too few
        individuals, and the people reverts to a mob.   Dune p. 292

                      -- Frank Herbert


        Here lies a toppled God --
        His fall was not a small one.
        We did but build his pedestal,
        A narrow and a small one.

                      -- Tleilaxu Epigram


        "Good Government never depends on Laws, but upon the personal
         qualities of those that govern.  The machinery of government
         is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that
         machinery.  The most important element of government, therefore,
         is the method of choosing leaders."

         "Government is a shared myth.  When the myth dies, the
          government dies."

                      --  Leto II


         "Religion always leads to rhetorical despotism.
          Before the Bene Gesserit, the Jesuits were best at it.
          Of course they do not begin by deluding themselves with it.
          It leads to self-fulfilling prophecy amd justifications of
          all manner of of obscenities.  Yes! It shields evil behind
          walls of self-righteousness which are proof against all
          arguments against evil.  It feeds on deliberately twisted
          meanings to discredit opposition.  The Jesuits called that
          'securing your powerbase.'  It leads directly to hypocrisy
          which is always betrayed by the gap between actions and
          explanations.  Ultimately, it rules by guilt because hypocrisy
          brings on the witch hunt and the demand for scapegoats.
          I am describing a tool of the religious powerbase.
          Powerbases are very dangerous because they attract people
          who are truly insane, people who seek power only for the
          sake of power.  In the shadow of every religion lurks a
          Torquemada.  He was an obscenity.  He made living torches
          out of people who disagreed with him."  -  Leto II

          Never try to teach a pig to sing;
          You're wasting your time -
          and it annoys the pig.

	  Simply singing to the pig also annoys it.

         When they took the fifth amendment I said nothing
              because I was innocent.
         When they took the fourth amendment I said nothing
              because I didn't deal drugs.
         When they took the second amendment I said nothing
              because I don't own a gun.
         Now they've taken the first amendment,
              and I can say nothing.
