A running commentary on what we as a people have already been, currently are, and may or may not become.

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way.

Alfred D'Souza
"It is only in folk tales, children's stories, and the journals of intellectual opinion that power is used wisely and well to destroy evil. The real world teaches very different lessons, and it takes willful and dedicated ignorance to fail to perceive them." ~ Noam Chomsky
