Corollaries

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We've all heard this Acton quote by now.  How about these corollaries?

"Power tends to kill, and absolute power kills absolutely."

"Corruption tends to kill, and absolute corruption kills absolutely."

Acton's neat dictum seems to work just about any way you phrase it.  No doubt Acton would be pleased at this apparent infallibility...

Two New Links...

The two newest links are TSA Goons and Dog Murderers (turns out cops like killing pets too!).

As Jefferson noted, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.  In ways too numerous to count, we've fallen well short of that vigilant ideal.  This is our OTHER national debt, comprised of our countless failures to keep government within Constitutional limits.  The interest on our vast indifference is being collected regularly now, and the price is just as high as at any other time in history.

These new links won't bring joy, but to fight we need to know what's going on..  Please, everyone - read.  Get angry.  Do something.  Unless we all join the fight for freedom, that interest payment will consume our entire nation, just as it consumed Erik Scott...
