[Quote No.28842] Need Area: Friends > General
"[A free press that is able to explore and weigh differing opinions is vital in a society, if its citizens are to make informed rational decisions. If this is not allowed and opinions are uniform everywhere then people should doubt the freedom of the press and thereby draw their own conclusions as to whether they are the victims of propaganda, where...] the whole apparatus for spreading knowledge – the schools and the press, radio and motion picture – will be used exclusively to spread those views which, whether true or false, will strengthen the belief in the rightness of the decisions taken by the authority; and all information that might cause doubt or hesitation will be withheld. The probable effect on the people’s loyalty to the system [winning and controlling their hearts and minds] becomes the only criterion for deciding whether a particular piece of information is to be published or suppressed." - Friedrich Hayek
(1899-1992), economist and Nobel Prize winner, famous for defending free market and classical liberal (i.e. libertarian) principles. Quoted from his book, 'The Road to Serfdom', published 1944.

[Quote No.28847] Need Area: Friends > General
"Lord Nelson, the victor at Trafalgar, once observed 'the politics of courts are so mean that private people would be ashamed to act in the same way; all is trick and finesse, to which the common cause is sacrificed.' Then and now, courtiers attain success not by presenting plausible premises, sound arguments and convincing evidence. They do not proffer reasonable grounds to believe that something is actually true. They make no attempt to appeal to reason; instead, they pander to the basest emotions. Politicians compete to tell people what they want to hear. Facing the electorate, they are ever mindful of popular whims, fears and prejudices. In order to receive the voters’ sympathy, politicians are prepared to sacrifice every principle save one: to say and do anything that’s necessary to assure their (re)election." - Chris Leithner

[Quote No.28902] Need Area: Friends > General
"[If you have ever had to deal with Government bureaucracies you will relate to the following story. It goes a long way to explaining libertarians' desire for less intrusive and more effective, smaller (and therefore lower taxing) governments:] In the year 2008, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, 'Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing, along with a few good humans.' He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, 'You have six months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for forty days and forty nights.'
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark. 'Noah!' He roared, 'I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?' 'Forgive me, Lord', begged Noah, 'but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it. Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls, but no go! When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood. I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. Immigration and Naturalization are checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work. The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience. To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.' Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked,'You mean you're not going to destroy the world?' 'No' said the Lord. 'The government beat me to it'." - Anonymous
