Title: Famous Quotes

Quote
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Jack London


Jack London of "Call of the Wild" fame ? About a dog that is almost beaten to death in a dogfight, and left for dogmeat ? And a story where a man tires to beat him again with a club ? If this is tipping towards an owebuma quote or comment, I will never see it coming.

"Government at it's best is a necessary evil; at it's worst, an intolerable one."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Notice that wherever your particular government falls on Jefferson's evaluative scale, the one inescapable constant in the equation is that it is EVIL.
