Good quotes make great letters.
"It is my considered opinion at present that marihuana is not harmful unless it is taken in enormous and excessive amounts. I believe that we are damaging this country, damaging our law enforcement situation, damaging the trust between older people and younger people by its prohibition, and this is far more serious than any damage that might be done to a few overusers."
-Testimony of anthropologist Margaret Mead to Congress (October 27, 1969)

All the President's Frenemies
The five living presidents haven ' t always been as cordial as they were last week. Some historic zingers:
George H.W. Bush on Jimmy Carter, October 1980: "The American people will not abide a small, mean-minded, do-anything-to-win campaigner in the White House."
Barack Obama on Bill Clinton, January 2008: "We're going to have to … directly confront [him] when he's making statements that are not factually accurate."

today's quote on liberty and safety by Benjamin Franklin
Just in case you don't know who Benjamin Franklin was...i linked his name. For those of you who do know who Benjamin Franklin was, I think this quote does a few things. First, I can't help but think how we've become slaves to our safety; which, made me ashamed of my own greed and fear. But, as you well know Benjamin Franklin along with our Founding Fathers would never settle for a government like we have now. The people need to take back this government and we need to do it now!
Any society that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety... deserves neither liberty nor safety.
- Benjamin Franklin
Any society that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety... deserves neither liberty nor safety.
