  1. A quotation from Orwell

    The weakness of the child is that it starts with a blank sheet. It neither understands nor questions the society in which it lives, and because of its credulity other people can work upon it, infecting it with the sense of inferiority and the dread of offending against mysterious, terrible laws.

    George Orwell (1903–1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1948-06), “‘Such, Such Were the Joys …’,” Partisan Review (1952-09)

  2. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    They who clamor loudest for freedom are often the ones least likely to be happy in a free society. The frustrated, oppressed by their shortcomings, blame their failure on existing restraints. Actually, their innermost desire is for an end to the “free for all.” They want to eliminate free competition and the ruthless testing to which the individual is continually subjected in a free society.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 5, § 28 (1951)

  3. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart — the best brain. Superiority is born of honesty, of virtue, of charity, and above all, of the love of liberty. The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Speech (1883-10-22), “Liberty,” Address on the Civil Rights Act, Lincoln Hall, Washington, D. C.

    Regarding #Trump's recent physical...

    1. Trump lies. Constantly. About everything. It's his default state of being, and is as natural as breathing to him.

    2. Trump has a massive ego and also a massive inferiority complex. He needs constant fluffing and reinforcement. He has to be told he is better, handsomer, smarter, everything-er than everybody else.

    Put those together, and you get:

    3. The things Trump lies about more than anything else are ... himself. He cheats at golf to win tournaments at clubs he owns, so he can be "champion". He brags about first-placing in contests or comparisons that didn't happen or which don't rank participants at all. And on and on...

    What's this got to do with his physical?

    Well, he announced his results and it says he's 6'3" and weighs 224 pounds.

    Which, if true, would mean he's 5 or 6 inches taller than me, but weighs the same. Anyone familiar with how scaling a 3D object up by linear factor X affects mass is now laughing their guts out.

    He is *far* more obese than me. Of *course* he's lying about his weight. If he's less than 270 pounds I will eat my hat, and it would not surprise me in the least if he weighed 300 pounds.

    So, do you want your government run by a pathetically insecure man-baby who has to lie about his weight to feel better than everyone else?

    Shame on his doctor putting his signature to such bullshit.
