I think it might be time to quote jefferson......... |
|
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to it's true principles. It is true that in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt."
thomas jefferson
the culture of corruption will soon become the culture of incarceration!!!

3. It's always time to quote from TJ! |
|
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.—Thomas Jefferson

Fits extremely well with our situation. We will recover from the Bush Administration.

7. Here's one of my favorites from TJ: |
|
"All history has shown that mankind is more inclined to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed, but when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursing invariably the same object envinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security".

8. My favorite Thomas Jefferson quote: |
|
I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
Taken from a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800. (I wonder what Jefferson would have said about the Patriot Act.)
