If you are wondering where my art images had gone... My domain mink.org was stolen by russians and held for ransomed. I SH!T YOU NOT! Thanks to the efforts of David Maxwell at Network Solutions it has been returned to me.
So the next time someone tells you that you are paranoid about identity theft and that you shouldn't worry... you kick them right square in the nuts for me!
THANK YOU David Maxwell at Network Solutions!
A FREE SOCIETY...
A SAFE SOCIETY.PICK ONE!
"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance."
- H. L. Mencken
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?"
- Ronald Wilson Reagan, Inaugural Address
"Victory means exit strategy and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
- GW Bush, Houston Chronicle 04/09/99
"Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
- Benjamin Franklin, 1759
