Every man must get himself across the gap lest he cease being a man. The moral question: "Does he do it as a man or a parasite?"
Master Creating Your Life
This is dedicated to the individual and his freedom. The long journey of history is the individual becoming responsible for his own life while living in a civilization of individuals. "Man's mind is his basic means of survival," an individual reasoning faculty. Attempts to bypass this fact are doomed. Man, having a particular nature as does all of existence, is bound and at the same time free to create whole new worlds by recombining the raw material that nature provides without end.

Quotes I like
- "Compassion has become the human face of contempt. A misplaced compassion degrades both the victims, who are reduced to objects of pity, and their would-be benefactors, who find it easier to pity their fellow citizens than to hold them up to impersonal standards, attainment of which would entitle them to respect." - Christopher Lasch
- "When they attack one personally it means they haven't a single political argument left." - - Margaret Thatcher.
- "A nation that wishes to be ignorant and free wishes for what never was and never will be." - - Thomas Jefferson
- "Each one of us has the power—and must develop the will—to be the hero of his own life. We believe in goals, in purposes, in achievement and in the joy of living." - - Andrew Bernstein
- The Nanny Statist's Creed: "We are smart unlike you; We are free from greed, unlike you; We must, therefore, save you from yourself and force you to a sensible life." -- Scott Johnson, powerlineblog
- "Have you noticed that the imbecile always smiles? Man’s first frown is the first touch of God on his forehead. The touch of thought…" - - Ayn Rand
- "Human Rights, distinct from Individual Rights, puts an end to the possibility of being human." - - Butterbaugh

This is the strongest letter I ever wrote to a Congressman. I meant it.
From: Principlex
Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 1:07 PM
To: Congressman John Lewis
Subject: Re: IMA MAIL ON BUDGET
There is but one avenue to prosperity - productivity. Just as I cannot borrow and spend my way to prosperity, neither can the country. Thus, your position is untenable by anyone who is rational and gives the matter some thought in terms of the fundamental laws of nature.
The correct course is to cut government expenses, leaving as much of our citizens' earnings in their hands in order to support them to be productive. Further, the chains of onerous and ubiquitous regulations need to be removed. Only crimes of one man or group of men initiating force or fraud against another need to be kept. All else is anti-man, anti-freedom and anti-prosperity.
The only thing you ever did was fight for the rights of the black man and for this I commend you and revere you. But that work is now done. And, the road you are now on is actually returning the black man, the white man, the red man and, in fact, all men to slavery. You are now on the side of the plantation owners who kept the slaves, not on the side of a man's right to be a free man.
For this reason, I will work to seek your unseating from your position as a Congressman. You can count on it.
