A friend sent me this today and I thought, " Wow, this storm has been a-brewing a while now  hasn't it. "

Very Interesting Quote:

In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered'.

If one has to give up one’s freedom for security, one deserves neither.

and a quote from a somewhat cynical friend:

---

" Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Freedom, and Vice Versa "

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
