A Bird On A Tether, No Matter

For Centuries The Bible's Emphasis On Compassion And Love For Our Neighbor Has Inspired Institutional And Governmental Expressions Of Benevolent Outreach Such As Private Charity, The Establishment Of Schools And Hospitals, And The Abolition Of Slavery.

The One Thing Our Founding Fathers Could Not Foresee - They Were Farmers, Professional Men, Businessmen Giving Of Their Time And Effort To An Idea That Became A Country - Was A Nation Governed By Professional Politicians Who Had An Interest In Getting Re-elected. They Probably Envisioned A Fellow Serving A Couple Of Hitches And Then Eagerly Looking Forward To Getting Back To The Farm.

Government Is Like A Baby. An Alimentary Canal With A Big Appetite At One End And No Sense Of Responsibility At The Other.

I Have Wondered At Times What The Ten Commandments Would Have Looked Like If Moses Had Run Them Through The Us Congress.

I Would Have Voted Against The Civil Rights Act Of 1964.
