Quote of the Day

Now, this is interesting:

I’m quite confident that we’re going to rebel against this abusive government. I think that, you know Winston Churchill said, “The American people invariably do the right thing after they have exhausted all the alternatives.” And I think we’re beginning to get to the bottom of the list of alternatives, and to realize that arithmetic is inexorable. You can’t make 2+2 equal 7, and sooner or later arithmetic is going to force realism upon us.

~ George Will, columnist and author

I hope he's right. There's a heck of a big percentage of people who are happy to live lives oblivious to what's going on around them these days.

Rev. Paul said...

That appears to be so; I'm thinking they're going to get a big dose of reality soon. Maybe it'll wake some of them up.

Indeed, but like PH said above, there are so many mushrooms in this country. As long as they have a dark room and plenty of water they're content.

Rev. Paul said...

Stephen - It makes me wonder what the percentage of converts would be, if a shooting war ever gets started. On the other hand, I hope not to find out.

ProudHillbilly said...

Stephen - Water? That's not what they're being fed...:-)

Rev. Paul said...

I wondered at that myself, PH. {snicker}

Too many people combine feelings with ignorance to insist their's is a point of view to be thoughtfully accepted by the rest of us.

Rev. Paul said...

Very true, WSF. Sad, isn't it?

JMD said...

I keep hoping that the delay is caused by those trying to calculate using the new math. Sigh. We are well overdue. There appears to be not much left to rescue.

Old NFO said...

Yep, but what WILL the response be???

juvat said...

Well, I'm hoping it occurs on the second Tuesday in November followed by a large scale surge in DC area Moving Company stock in January. That would be best for all parties. Just sayin'

Rev. Paul said...

JMD, there's much to rescue, but only a few alternatives to that approach. We're running out of options.

NFO, I think we're seeing "the response" starting in Nevada.

juvat, that would be optimum, but I begin to think we can't vote ourselves out of this.

juvat said...

Rev,
That's what scares the ever lovin' outta me because I'm afraid you're right!

Cathy said...

Love George Will. Let's hope he's got this right.

Rev. Paul said...

Me too, juvat.

Cathy, I'm have afraid he's wrong - and half afraid he's right!
