    Quotes... I like my current sig, found it on a computer repair forum. They guy said the house was so nasty, there was garbage almost knee high, and the people made trails through the trash...

    Got a couple of more.

    “One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.” Thomas Sowell

    "Our constitutional ignorance -- perhaps contempt, coupled with the fact that we've become a nation of wimps, sissies and supplicants -- has made us easy prey for Washington's tyrannical forces. But that might be changing a bit. There are rumblings of a long overdue re-emergence of Americans' characteristic spirit of rebellion." Walter Williams (one of my favorite right wing radicals)

    "No offense, prompter. I don't want to anger the teleprompter here. Teleprompter's job's tough enough. Teleprompter is the Teleprompter of the United States, for crying out loud." Rush Limbaugh

    The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” Churchill

    A variation of the above:
    “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Churchill


    I would quote more of Thomas Sowell, but ironically they might be deemed inappropriate for this section, easy to google them.

    Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail.” Benito Mussolini



    And of course one of the best quotes ever: "DOH!" H. Simpson


    Well, I guess my secret is probably out now. Fred_G, not a left-winger. :-D

    The boy came in from school today and asked if I knew anything on Alexandros Grigoroupolos. "Never heard of him", I said. So off he goes to play football, then swimming.
    He comes in and asks again, so I Google it and stumble on these.
    Don't know 'bout anyone else, but it moved me.

    Interesting link Joey. Always sad to see something like this happen. I don't know what happened, but the guard that shot 'warning shots' into the air and ground is a fooking idiot! You don't shoot a gun like that! The bullet will come down at a high velocity and could kill someone far away. Gun safety 101, he failed.
