From !SCIENCE! comes this rather un-PC statement:
“To characterize this line of reasoning as having no basis in reality would be an egregious understatement. It is false at every conceivable scale of resolution.”
No, it’s not Marxist economics (although that might run a close second); it’s this “gender spectrum” bullshit, which (like Marxist economics) only exists at all because people wish it to be true.
From Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán:
“Populism is when you make promises you can’t keep—if you can keep them, it’s democracy.”
Now, about that wall on the U.S.-Mex border…
“The Earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching.”
— From a tablet found in Assyria, circa 2800 BC
And:
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
— Socrates, circa 380 BC
“Feminism is mixed up with a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands.” — G.K. Chesterton
Let’s hear it for the HR Department…
This one’s for all those institutions (government and corporations) who just have to know what you’re doing all the time:
“It’s not that I have something to hide. I have nothing I want you to see.” — Anon
So FOAD, the lot of you.
From Walter Williams:
“Knowing who owns what weapons is the first step to confiscation.”
I don’t think I have to caution any of my Readers about this, but anyway: if ever some government apparatchik wants to register guns — any kind of guns — resist, refuse to comply, make a noise about it.
I should point out that back in the police state known as Apartheid South Africa, all guns had to be registered to owners, who were themselves registered as such.
I had five guns that the Gummint knew nothing about. In fact, now that I think back, I had more un-registered guns than registered ones. If it was possible under that government, it should be easy-peasy Over Here.
Do ye the same, O My Readers.
