Small T Truth
Sergeant: What they could use around here is a good war. What else can you expect with peace running wild all over the place? You know what the trouble with peace is? No organization!..It takes a war to fix that. In a war, everyone registers, everyones names on a list.
From Mother Courage and her Children by Bertolt Brecht
"One of the great privileges of power is the right to attack others for doing exactly what you do without anybody who matters calling you on your hypocricy."

"Banking institutions and moneyed corporations" would,"if not curbed, become a form of absolutism that would destroy the promise of the democratic revolution."

Jefferson was right on.
So were Brecht and Street!
I am working on a post generated by your comment about Ayn Rand. My reply comment there is the beginning of the thought to be continued. I enjoy and am educated by your thoughts.
Damn Jefferson was right on. Speaking of founding fathers the New Yorker has a nice little profile of Thomas Paine in its latest issue
Frederick, I love the Kommandos Project.And good luck in the elections, our Representative , a moron named Rehberg ,seems pretty secure but he is just craven enough to vote with any majority,no matter which party, just to be liked.

I'll have to look for that. I've been a Paine admirer since grade school. One of the few noteworthy attractions in the city where I grew up is "Paine's cottage", on the site of the farm where he lived (briefly) after the Revolution. Regrettably, apart from his real estate, Paine did not leave much of a lasting impression on the town's culture.
