Libby

"Scooter will probably end up like Oliver North. Ollie was indicted on sixteen felony counts and convicted of three in connection to the so-called Iran-Contra Affair—accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and destruction of documents. His conviction was over-turned by a three judge panel. As a reward, Ollie received a book contract and eventually his own television show on Fox News, thus once again demonstrating crime pays."
It sure does.

Liberty

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; [if] it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it."

I never knew much about former president Clinton, but he sure was "good"... at raping the Constitution. "The era of big government is over" Haha okay: http://cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-271.html

I'm bummed out. Without having economic power we'll have no political power.
Back to warcraft, no one cares.

This reminds me...

Howard Fineman: Rove Non-Indictment a Bush 'Victory'

Newsmax | October 29 2005

Newsweek magazine reporter Howard Fineman, who's been at the forefront of recent media speculation that top White House official Karl Rove would be indicted, has pronounced Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's decision to indict only Cheney aide Lewis Libby "a victory" for the Bush White House.

"Given the expectations that have evolved around here in the last week or so, if it turns out that this phase of the grand jury ends with only Scooter Libby being indicted," Fineman told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough last night, "that will be seen as almost be seen as a backwards kind of victory here."

Scarborough agreed, saying that the indictment of Libby without Rove would be, "a huge political win for the White House."

Fineman said Rove, not Libby, was Fitzgerald's "big fish."

"Karl Rove is a big national figure and as close to the president of the United States as you can get without being a member of the president`s family," he told Scarborough. "And so, politically, Karl Rove is the much bigger fish here."'

I wonder what they were talking about during the multiple meetings before the indictments... This looks like a bad recreation of some Shawshank-type deals. And hail yet another, "Victory!" I love America.

Wisdom

“Strengthen your argument and not your voice.”
I'm reading the
Cato Handbook on Policy(Link) and am about 70 pages in. It's hard to get these facts down considering there's around 700 pages to understand. Memorizing even half of the facts and arguements is a feat in itself, the whole book would be just as hard as the seven days. Well, you get the idea. Ideally I hope to educate my family, although I've lost some respect for some, and have them appreciate all of this.
It's sort of like a scenario in the fable The Alchemist where the alchemist asked some stranger if he wanted the secret to longevity. Hearing this the stranger laughed and rejected the offer. The alchemist told the main character that people won't accept the truth even though it's right there before them. However, since this is a fable the whole longetivity thing is not true, but it's the basic idea that if the truth is in front of them people have trouble seeing it. I feel what I know is the truth. I've been searching for my whole high school life and I'm sure other people say the same with their own beliefs, but the difference is that they delve too deeply into it and won't allow themselves to think more open-mindedly. I'm happy thinking I know what will happen after I die so I'll concentrate from now on to give as much as I can to the world. Not like Jehova's Witnesses by travelling door to door, that's vain. I'm not sure what the plan is for the future, but I'll work for it.

I'm listening to the song, GZA - B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Intstructions Before Leaving Earth)

Evergrowing self-actualization.
