When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.  A principle if acted upon would eliminate one-half of the wars in the world.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the Government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of Taking Care of  Them.

My reading of history convinces me that most Bad Government comes from too Much Government.

No Free Man shall ever be debarred the Use of Arms.

The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against Tyranny in Government.

The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

In 1802 Thomas Jefferson said this.  I believe that the 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.

We should not enter into any treaty with any country.  We should trade with them and be friends with them but never be involved with binding treaties.

Now, Mark Twain said this:  Those who do not read the newspaper are uninformed, those who do read the newspaper are misinformed.

It has been said that the greatest volume of sheer brainpower in one place occurred when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.  This was a quote from John F. Kennedy.

As you can see from the quotes Thomas Jefferson knew.  We are where he hoped we would not be.

As Always have a good one.

As recently as last month the UK government announced plans to increase taxes for motorists so drastically as to put the future of driving cars in jeopardy for most people, these taxes are to be raised as a method of contribution to a Green Tax Levy amounting to £150bn over the next 10 years.

One factor that never seems to be considered by the people who think up these measures is how will their decisions affect people who live out in the country. Practically everyone who lives in the country are on lesser incomes than their city dwelling counterparts and cannot rely on a good public transport system, how then are they going to conduct their lives with no travel.

A survey reveals very clearly that transport lags behind both industry and buildings in global energy usage yet is always seen as the cash cow when tax revenues are required to be topped up.

How long will it be before our Chancellor of the Exchequer makes a statement, as he did on the recent increase in Flight Taxes, that these motoring tax increases are just a revenue raising exercise and nothing to do with environment issues.

Of far greater importance to the well being of our planet is the absolutely enormous damage being carried out in the Amazon Rainforest, and not to be forgotten, other regions including Indonesia, where logging will have cleared all rainforests in 10 years and in Papua New Guinea in 13-16 years.

All this deforestation, a great amount of which is illegal, is to provide land for agriculture and crops, some of these crops are for the production of bio-fuels for our cars. Can anyone see the sense in that, clearing rainforests which absorb carbon gas emissions to plant crops for the production of further fuels, ok perhaps slightly less polluting fuels.

What we have not heard a lot of information about is where these crops and products end up; answer- BRITISH SUPERMARKETS.

There is a clear case to answer here, if British supermarkets are buying  cheap products (which these products would have to be for the supermarkets to be interested in) then they are not only profiting from illegal activity and having supported indirectly the logging and deforestation but they should be making a corresponding contribution to green taxation.

The Delta Smelt is nothing more than a food fish for the migrating salmon. In the Great Lakes area we eat smelt by the tons.

The Dept. of the Interior, environmentalist, White House, and a lot of others are refusing to help the unemployed. This valley provides about 12% of all the fruits and vegetables America eats. This once fertile valley is being turned into a desert by a fish.

This is the first time in the history of America that the Federal Gov’t. is actually starving its own people. This is setting the stage for the Federal Government to do this anywhere they feel like, very dangerous.

I for one like to eat vegetables and fruit grown on American Soil by American Farms. I do not want to eat the vegetables and fruits coming from Asia and South America.

I would suggest if you want to keep eating American grown food get involved and call or email your senators and congressman for your state. The farmers and the workers in the Ca. valley need our help.
