  1. A quotation from Eisenhower

       The way chosen by the United States was plainly marked by a few clear precepts, which govern its conduct in world affairs.
       First: No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
       Second: No nation’s security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow-nations.
       Third: Any nation’s right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing is inalienable.
       Fourth: Any nation’s attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
       And fifth: A nation’s hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations.
       In the light of these principles the citizens of the United States defined the way they proposed to follow, through the aftermath of war, toward true peace.

    Dwight David Eisenhower (1890–1969) American general, US President (1953–61)
    Speech (1953-04-16), “The Chance for Peace,” American Society of Newspaper Editors, Hotel Statler, New York City

  3. How stupid do we have to be to attack our closest ally, friend and neighbor? This orange abomination of a POTUS is the dumbest ever in history. The world would be so much better off without this pathetic excuse for a human.

  7. A quotation from Horace

    When thy next neighbours house is all on fire,
    ’Tis thy concern to make his flames expire;
    For fire will gather strength if let alone,
    And with thy neighbours house burn down thine owne.
     
    [Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.
    Et neglecta solent incendia sumere vires.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “To Lollius,” l. 84ff (1.18.84-85) (20 BC) [tr. A. B.; ed. Brome (1666)]

    The Fall Risk: A Short Story

  9. Tyndale—executed for translating the Bible—states God’s accounting criteria plainly. At judgment: did you feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty? Not: did you build abbeys or fund priests? The institutional religion of his day had inverted the priorities. One notes the inversion remains available in certain quarters.

  12. Pilkington—Puritan, expounding Proverbs—prays the wealthy would open their barns rather than corner markets during hunger. Solomon’s verdict: hoarders get cursed, sellers get blessed. Note the nuance: private property stays intact. It’s simply that hoarding during famine attracts God’s plague and popular fury. Today we’d sooner blame the hungry for coveting. Proverbs disagrees.

  13. No Parachuting

    In the TDG neighborhood elections, neighbors can vote only for another neighbor.

    So there is no parachuting of faraway candidates to represent the TDG electoral districts.
