Some great words...
—WORDS OF WISDOM
If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power.
Carl Sagan
The object and practice of liberty lies in the limitation of governmental power.
Douglass MacArthur
If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.
Pearl S. Buck
I wish we could understand the word "expert" as expressing an attitude of mind which we can all acquire, rather than the collecting of information by a special caste...Many of us are calling for experts because, acutely conscious of the mess we are in, we want someone to pull us out.
M.P. Follett
For a considerable price [government] relieves us of responsibilities, performing acts that would be as unsavory for most of us as butchering our own beef. As our agent, the government can bomb and tax. As our agent, it can relieve us of the responsibilities once borne face to face by the community: caring for the young, the war-wounded, the aged, [and people with disabilities]. It extends our impersonal benevolence to the world's needy, relieving our collective conscience without uncomfortable first-hand involvement. It takes our power, our responsibility, our consciousness.
Marilyn Ferguson
