JMH said:

**** Dedicated to our glorious State & Federal Governments.****

The price of apathy towards public
affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Good people do not need laws to tell
them to act responsibly, while bad people
will find a way around the laws.

Those who are too smart to engage in
politics are punished by being governed
by those who are dumber.

All three by Plato.

A wise man, that Plato.:)

Did you know that he ordered other peoples books to be burned because he didnt like their message ?

Yeah, a wise man, but a bit untolerant. And no matter what the books said, it doesnt give him the right to burn them. Everyone listened to Plato, and thus did what he said

Yeah, I agree....just because you disagree with someone else's views doesn't give you the right to silence them.

Yeah, you see the light now! However, those quotes are very good, and he did do a lot of good things too, so not all bad

"I see" said the blind man, waving his wooden leg in the air.
