Quote of the day

For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.

And the merest glance at the federal budget is enough to convict the government of perjury, extortion, and fraud. . . . in a nutshell: government should be against the law. Term limits aren't enough. We need jail.
