*---- Quotes For The Week ----*
Gratitude is the least of the virtues, but ingratitude is the worst of vices.
--Thomas Fuller

The universe is wider than our views of it.
--Henry David Thoreau

With almost every new scientific achievement - with every hypothetical solution of a scientific problem - both the number of unsolved problems and the degree of their difficulty increase; they increase much faster than do the solutions. And it would be correct to say that whilst our conjectural knowledge is finite, our ignorance is infinite.
--Karl Popper, 'The World of Parmenides'

*---- More Quotes for the Week ----*
Professor Samuel Walker concluded that President George W. Bush used the "war on terror" for an across the board assault on US civil liberty, making the Bush regime the greatest danger American liberty has ever faced.
--Paul Craig Roberts, former Reagan cabinet member

[T]he suspension of habeas corpus and free speech that went hand in hand with America's three largest wars was lifted at war's end. However, President George W. Bush's repeal of the Constitution has been expanded by President Obama and codified by Congress and executive orders into law. Far from defending our liberties, our soldiers who died in "the war on terror" died so that the president can indefinitely detain US citizens without due process of law and murder US citizens on suspicion alone without any accountability to law or the Constitution.
--Paul Craig Roberts

Certainly the countries ravaged by Bush and Obama in the 21st century-Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen posed no military threat to the US. Indeed, these were wars used by a tyrannical executive branch to establish the basis of the Stasi State that now exists in the US.
--Paul Craig Roberts
