Just think: in the future you may look back on these times as "the good ol' days".

A good book that I read in high school and did an oral book report on to the class. Afterwards, once of the beauties in the class informed me of how amusing it was to hear me talk of places in the book like "Glubdubdrib" and "Brobdingnag" so matter-of-factly with a straight face 😄 View quoted note →

> "War...is harmful, not only to the conquered but to the conqueror. Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Peace and not war is the father of all things. Only economic action has created the wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness. Peace builds, war destroys." – Ludwig von Mises, *Socialism* (1922)

> "President Trump recently stated the federal government cannot afford to pay for daycare and other social programs because it has to spend so much money on the military and war. Of course, the Constitution does not authorize the federal government to run either a welfare state or a global empire." You've got the military industrial complex grift, and then the daycare grift as illustrated by the Somalian daycare scams that were recently exposed. The US #GovtIsTheProblem

The objection should not have been merely to "taxation without representation," but should have been an objection to #taxation, period. #USA@250 The #USA #GovtIsTheProblem

Simon's rants brought to mind the verse from the New Testament (1 John 5:19): “...the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one." Satan once boasted to the Messiah that all of the governments of the world had been turned over to him. It seems not much has changed in the last 2000 years...
