"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

President Abraham Lincoln

As Lady Margaret Thatcher once said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

Tolerance of evil begets intolerance of good.

"You can be my friend, or you can be my enemy, but you cannot be both."

"There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."
-Mark Twain
