"[Y]ou will understand the game behind the curtain too well not to perceive the
old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force
in the government."
-- James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President

"The champions of socialism call
themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is
characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to
every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are
intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they
yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they
want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of
the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic
post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an
alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!"
-- Ludwig von Mises
(1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher

"We've been asleep for about 50 years.
Ever since the end of World War II
we just steadily handed our future and
our bank accounts and now our children,
handed them all over to the federal government..."
-- Michael Moriarty
(1941) American-Canadian stage and screen actor, jazz musician
