To forbid us anything is to make us
have a mind for it.

Quote of the day........
It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles, or where
the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs,
who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and
shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-- Theodore Roosevelt(1858-1919)
26th US PresidentApril 23, 1910

Exodus.......Quote of the day.....
"Political tags -- such as royalist, communist, democrat,
populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth --
are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those
who want people to be controlled and those
who have no such desire."
~ Rober t A. Heinlein
(1907-1988) American writer
