Here you go. Found on the internet and I thought these were very relavant and even related.
“Stupid is a condition; Ignorance is a choice”
“Always question the good intentions of government”
I posted them in the order that I found them, but they might go better the other way around. After all, it takes ignorant people to trust the good intentions of good government.
Very little good has come from government, especially when it interferes with the lives of its’ citizens. Many of the Liberal programs, while good intentioned, have most of the time brought about catastrophic side effects. Like the Compact Flourscent Lights. When they burn out, where do you think the mercury that’s in the bulbs are going to go? Into our landfills, where they will eventually poison our water supply. If, if global warning is true, (and with the globe cooling like it is, I doubt it) it is a better choice in my eyes to have a little bit more CO2 in the air rather than our drinking water being tainted.
Right now, I’m in a test Zip code for Memphis’ local utility to do a “Smart Grid” system. This is where both myself and my power company can do real time measuring of my power useage. This might sound neat, but when they can start selling me power on a more expensive rate during my individual peak useage.
Also, with monitoring now, control inevitably follows. California is already trying to control the thermostats of homes and businesses because they don’t have enough power. So your house temperature would be set by the government, not by you. Doesn’t that sound a little, intrusive? But it will be the future, maybe not tomorrow, or next week, but within 5 years, it won’t sound so far fetched.
