"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant."

Civility
Now that they are calling us "terrorists" we can see that the left never really cared about civility when laughner shot a congresswoman...no, they just wanted to USE that poor woman and that sick man to shut up the opposition.
Mary Harris Jones (1837 - 1930)
Happy Birthday, Mother Jones!
I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please.

"Grace is the celebration of life, relentlessly hounding all the non-celebrants in the world. It is a floating, cosmic bash shouting its way through the streets of the universe, flinging the sweetness of its cassations to every window, pounding at every door in a hilarity beyond all liking and happening, until the prodigals come out at last and dance, and the elder brothers finally take their fingers out of their ears."
