"Better ten guilty men go free than one innocent man go to jail." Allow me to note that those options aren't exactly mutually exclusive. In fact, I've observed that a society that won't punish the guilty also tends to happily punish the innocent...in direct proportion.
When all men are demonized, do not be surprised when all men act like devils.
Yup. still got a plan. It involves running in circles, screaming, and flailing like someone set my hair on fire and my butt was starting to catch...
When I hear people praising Obama for giving the order to "get" bin Laden, a Chris Rock line comes to mind: "Whaddaya want, a cookie?? (They) Always wanting to get PRAISED for what they were SUPPOSED to do in the FIRST place."
According to the Wall Street Journal's beancounters, if you taxed every household in America that makes over $100,000 a year at a rate of 100 percent, you still wouldn't raise enough to balance president Obama's budget, never mind pay off any debt. You can't eliminate poverty by legalized plunder.
Books may not be extinct, but they HAVE become a fringe product... displaced by downloads, ebooks, kindles, books on CD and DVD. Much as candlemakers were once in the business of lighting houses--- but now are in the business of candlemaking. I wonder if they'll start making paper books potpourri scented?
People in the "save the printed word" movement get my attention in about the same way that the "save the buggy whip industry" people do. Less, actually, as they're bemoaning the fate of an industry that wouldn't even let me in the front door....
The next time someone talks to you about "overwhelming scientific consensus," hand 'em a toy brontosaur.
Liberalism is a unique religion. Rather than send its sinners to hell, it contrives to bring hell to you. Just look at Detroit. |
