It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.

This journalism does not merely fail to exaggerate life--it positively underrates it; and it has to do so because it is intended for the faint and languid recreation of men whom the fierceness of modern life has fatigued. This press is not the yellow press at all; it is the drab press.
-G K Chesterton (1905) Heretics

Barbarism is not a matter of methods but of aims. We say that these veneered vandals have the perfectly serious aim of destroying certain ideas which, as they think, the world has outgrown; without which, as we think, the world will die.
-G K Chesterton (1915) "The Appetite of Tyranny"

Business, especially big business, is now organized like an army. It is, as some would say, a sort of mild militarism without bloodshed; as I say, a militarism without the military virtues.

All but the hard hearted man must be torn with pity for this pathetic dilemma of the rich man, who has to keep the poor man just stout enough to do the work and just thin enough to have to do it.

The Romans came to Britain in 43AD and sorted the country out. It became organised, civilised and modernised. Then the Romans left around 410AD.

Britain mostly reverted to a being a shit hole. Except for the very rich who were alright.

Fast forward about 1,500 years and Britain rejects its European neighbours. And reverts to, well, a bit of a shit hole. Except for the rich. They're doing fine.

My state representative filed a bill to nullify the federal Respect for Marriage Act in Iowa. This question was decided in Varnum v. Brien in 2009.

@innovationoriginsnl ik moet het nog maar eens zien of deze koehandel gaat werken. Grote bedrijven hebben het geld en kennis zodat ze dit systeem in hun voordeel gaan benutten. Wat komt dan de rekening te liggen.

John Lennon said, "this is Rome" of the United States.
Question; is the now X president Donald trump our coagula?
I hope that madness never returns, then i look at the House of Representatives.
He would be irrelevant if we didn't have his election fraud in Brazil.
Now also in New Mexico where a republican politician that lost his election has been arrested for having his opposition shot at?

One would think, to hear people talk, that the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers were on the side of property. But obviously they are the enemies of property; because they are enemies of their own limitations.
