nice quotes, and yes, how could one fail to pause and investigate further? simply bizarre....and of course, it is not like they offer an alternative view...nothing but a void...This was summed up by Allan Bloom in his book from 20 years ago, 'The Closing of the American Mind': “ To repeat, the crisis of liberal education is a reflection of a crisis at the peaks of learning, an incoherence and incompatibility among the first principles with which we interpret the world, an intellectual crisis of the greatest magnitude, which constitutes the crisis of our civilization. But perhaps it would be true to say that the crisis consists not so much in this incoherence, but in our incapacity to discuss or even recognize it.” (p344) we are feeling the effects of this intellectual crisis today, as our economies collapse around us and our governments grow inexorably in power over us. rp

"They do not want to own your fortune, they want you to lose it; they do not want to succeed, they want you to fail; they do not want to live, they want you to die; they desire nothing, they hate existence, and they keep running, each trying not to learn that the object of his hatred is himself . . . . They are the essence of evil, they, those anti-living objects who seek, by devouring the world, to fill the selfless zero of their soul. It is not your wealth that they’re after. Theirs is a conspiracy against the mind, which means: against life and man." She knew Metacomet?
