Interesting Thought
Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth. Will Rogers

Thought Provoking Quotes
Some would say these quotes describe the US. Any thoughts.
Ask yourself why totalitarian dictatorships find it necessary to pour money and effort into propaganda for their own helpless, chained, gagged slaves, who have no means of protest or defense. The answer is that even the humblest peasant or the lowest savage would rise in blind rebellion, were he to realize that he is being immolated, not to some incomprehensible noble purpose, but to plain, naked human evil. Ayn Rand
There are four characteristics which brand a country unmistakably as a dictatorship: one-party rule- executions without trial or with a mock trial, for political offenses- the nationalization or expropriation of private property- and censorship. A country guilty of these outrages forfeits any moral prerogatives, any claim to national rights or sovereignty, and becomes an outlaw. Ayn Rand

Sue The Post Office
Justices Allow Postal Customers to Sue
I saw this headline and got very excited. Maybe I could use the threat of a lawsuit to get our local Post Office to let me have my mail instead of holding it for weeks on end before finally deciding to give it to me. It really gets old after awhile to get bundles of mail suspiciously grouped together by date that are up to 2 months old all of a sudden in a big burst when you pick up mail. But, it's not to be.
So you see the "loss, miscarriage or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter" did not come into play in this suit so I don't have a leg to stand on. Maybe I will just trip and fall on the way out of the Post Office with all my bundles of delayed mail and then sue them. That just might work, I will consider it.
A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them. Albert Camus
The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks. Emo Philips

It really gets old after awhile to get bundles of mail suspiciously grouped together by date that are up to 2 months old all of a sudden in a big burst when you pick up mail. But, it's not to be.
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the Postal Service can be sued by a woman who tripped over mail left on her porch.
The 7-1 decision revived a Pennsylvania woman's claim that she was entitled to damages after suffering wrist and back injuries during the 2001 fall at her home in suburban Philadelphia. The letters, packages and periodicals were put on Barbara Dolan's porch instead of in her mailbox.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority, dismissed government concerns of costly litigation.
...
Justices had been asked to interpret a federal law that bars lawsuits over the "loss, miscarriage or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter." The court said the law did not cover Dolan's claim.
So you see the "loss, miscarriage or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter" did not come into play in this suit so I don't have a leg to stand on.

Stupidity
The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? Frank Zappa

Bull
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it ....up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep ....your mouth shut.--Will Rogers
P.S. This deserved to stand on it's own.
