About this user
I spend most of my time working and studying science (mainly evolutionary biology and astronomy), the monetary system, governments, economies, various theories, and alternative solutions to our society's problems.
"We must, however, acknowledge as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities...still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin." -Charles Darwin
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is not benevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"
-Epicurus
"An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." -Winston Churchill
"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little." -George Carlin
"People are entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege." -Unknown Author
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the dark path of tyranny, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." -Harry S. Truman
"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death." -George Carlin
"I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect." -George Carlin
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our credit system is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, on his signing of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913
