(Seen at the Florence ‘No Kings’ protest)
- Heroes all: “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong.” -Mohammad Ali… -Or, whoever nowadays say:…”I ain’t got no quarrel with them protesters”‘( -See last Saturday’s Protests.)
- “Rights are won only by those who make their voices heard.” -Harvey Milk…Or not, as someone else once said, “Can’t we just shoot them in the legs, or something?” -To remain Nameless.
Some non sequiturs:
- “My father used to take off his belt and give me a crack. And I’m all right.” -Sean Hannity…Or, “Physical punishment teaches children that the larger, stronger person has the power to get his way, whether or not he is in the right, and they may resent this in the parent – for life.” -Dr. Benjamin Spock
- “It doesn’t say anywhere in the Constitution this idea of the separation of church and state.”. -Hannity again. But what about the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. which reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. …(But then Hannity is all about Entertainment.)
- “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” …and,”Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups” -George Carlin .. In that vein, if you believe the man who is quoted next, you are in the lower half: “At the end of the day, we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves and that’s the Second Amendment, and that’s why our party stands so strongly for that.” -Mike Johnson, Speaker of the Vacationing House.
- “Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it’s called golf.” -Will Rogers…Or, “Many people don’t have the ability to be rich, because they’re too lazy or they don’t have the desire or the stick-to-itiveness. It’s a talent. Some people have a talent for piano. Some people have a talent for raising a family. Some people have a talent for golf. I just happen to have a talent for making money.” -To remain Nameless, who also said, “You have Obama that wants to play golf instead of deal with people.’
That’s it from here today…”There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.” —Homer
