‎”The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.” ~ John Locke

Who just passed the California bar exam. Congrats, Mike. [/insert "Just what California needs, another lawyer" joke here.] (Code probably isn’t correct.)

In the comments from this Dave Weigel article (brackets are mine, grammatical errors belong to the commenter):

I will be voting for Governor Gary Johnson! Pro-Choice, Pro-Gay rights, Anti war GOP candidate who wants to balance the budget and legalize marijuana! Johnson is also a good steward of tax dollars. He came into office with a huge deficit [billion dollar plus deficit] and left 8 yrs later with a billion dollar surplus [true]. His staff once asked him how he wanted his name read on the state welcome signs. He said Don’t put my name on those signs, If we change them at all put welcome to New Mexico from the citizens of New Mexico so we dont have to spend money to change them in the future. [WORD, Gary] As Governor he raised the speed limit to 75 on the highway and allowed people to buy beer on Sunday saying “this is a choice the people of New Mexico can make for themselves and don’t need the govt telling them on what day they can buy beer.” [Fucking right] He understand the proper role of govt to protect you from force or fraud [collectively, coercion] but to otherwise leave you alone unless your actions interfere with the rights of another. Check out Two term(one more than Mitt) Governor Gary Johnson! Dont let the media pick your candidate! Johnson’s socially liberal and fiscally conservative stances will be attractive to democrat and independent voters in the general election, I think he is the man to beat obummer.. Gary Johnson is who we need in the White House. [This is true.] The People’s President!

Keep spreading the word.

‎”The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable” – H. L. Mencken

Philosophy professor James Stacey Taylor: “When there’s a transplant operation from a living donor into the body of a living recipient, everybody involved in the operation is getting paid: the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the nurses, the hospital, etc. The only person not getting paid is the person who is actually giving up the most precious commodity of all – the kidney donor.  And I think that’s morally wrong.”

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

In support of Gary Johnson. At the San Diego Republican Party straw poll.
