"I would arrest anybody who uses the word State (in any sense other than the inanimate realm of England and its inhabitants, a thing that has neither power, rights nor mind); and after a chance of recantation, execute them if they remained obstinate! If we could get back to personal names, it would do a lot of good. "Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people. If people were in the habit of referring to ‘King George’s council, Winston and his gang’, it would go a long way to clearing thought, and reducing the frightful landslide into Theyocracy. "Anyway the proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity. And at least it is done only to a small group of men who know who their master is." — From a letter to Christopher Tolkien [from his father J.R.R. Tolkien] 29 November 1943 https://peacerequiresanarchy.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/the-letters-of-jrr-tolkien/2019-01-08T19:04:53+00:00monthlyhttps://sentient.wordsof.org/2016/08/25/under-democracy-h-l-mencken/https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/unfit-to-rule-clinton-trump.jpgUnder Democracy — H.L.

Such rules look very pretty on paper; in practice they are as foolish and footless as the attempt of the mice to bell the cat. Such is my thesis, that the licensing of weapons is subversive of liberty and self-defeating in its pious purpose. — Robert Anson Heinlein, The Dean of Science Fiction2016-09-19T14:44:59+00:00monthlyhttps://sentient.wordsof.org/2014/10/08/guard-your-enemies-from-oppression-thomas-paine/https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/guard-enemies-from-oppression.jpgGuard Enemies from OppressionHe that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. — Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government (1791)2014-10-08T16:06:41+00:00monthlyhttps://sentient.wordsof.org/2013/01/03/your-right-to-not-support-evil-thomas-jefferson/https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/quote-jefferson-religious-freedom.jpgYour Right to Not Support Evil <— Thomas Jeffersonto compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves, is sinful and tyrannical" — Thomas Jefferson, writing in a sister document to the First Amendment, expressing a principle that applies to Hobby Lobby's refusal to provide employees with services they consider immoral.2013-01-03T21:43:48+00:00monthlyhttps://sentient.wordsof.org/2012/12/28/global-warming-shamanism-p-j-orourke/https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/global-warming-shaman-quote.jpgGlobal Warming Shaman — Fear Equals Fundinghttps://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/global-warming-shaman.jpgGlobal Warming Shaman2016-09-19T14:17:31+00:00monthlyhttps://sentient.wordsof.org/2012/12/17/the-squeaky-wheel-may-be-foolish-dave-nalle/https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/loudest-voice1.jpgWe Demand MORE LAWS!!!https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/loudest-voice.jpgWe Demand MORE LAWS!!!2012-12-17T17:01:34+00:00monthlyhttps://sentient.wordsof.org/2012/12/16/disarming-the-victims-william-s-burroughs/https://sentient.wordsof.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/gun-free-club.jpgWhere do successful mass shootings occur?
