I don't like to quote Ronnie Ray that often, but I came across something interesting today, and thought I'd share it. It seems at once surprisingly prophetic and incredibly ironic that this was said by Ronald Reagan, the guy who made ketchup a vegetable in school lunches, who supported George H.W. Bush's election, and whose party supported Our President's election...twice. Anyway, here goes:
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves."
Geez, I've never said it that well myself.

I've always liked this:
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
--George Washington
Awesome. I'm using that too, somewhere.
