  30. A quotation from Judith Martin

    Rules that are arbitrary may be nonetheless crucial. Whether we drive on the right or left side of the road is arbitrary, but it is crucial to obey the prevailing rule.

    “Miss Manners,” syndicated column (2015-02-01)

  34. A quotation from Lincoln

    I should like to know if, taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, and making exceptions to it, where will it stop? If one man says it does not mean a negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man? If that declaration is not the truth, let us get the Statute book, in which we find it, and tear it out! Who is so bold as to do it? If it is not true let us tear it out!

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1858-07-10), Chicago, Illinois

  37. @randahl I think not every victim ist targeted, like some Trump voters. But they dont care. If the richest profit its okay for them. #Arbitrariness is also a method of government. People learn not to depend on government, but as a chaotic rule its unclear what the outcome will be, especially in a country with a long democratic history.

  42. Neither the crimes of some individuals, nor the historical affiliations of a particular religious entity, can be a sufficient basis for measures tantamount to collective punishment of a living worshipping religious community in Ukraine. The government of Ukraine is responsible for protecting the rights of all its citizens.

Pointing this out, persecution of #journalists, #arbitrariness and destruction of people is the only reason why newspapers should exist at all. So if you have newspapers and they did NOT report about #Assange yesterday, but about Putin's toilet paper, cancel them. #freeassange #stoplying #fuckyouhypocrites #hypocrites #freeallpoliticalprisoners
