The left are not bipartisan. somebody give me an example of left-wing bipartisanship. they don't even define it the way we do. bipartisanship, as they define it, as in we cave on our core beliefs and agree with them. that is bipartisanship. there is no compromise.

We libertarians are not the spokesmen for any ethnic or economic class; we are the spokesmen for all classes, for all of the public; we strive to see all of these groups united, hand-in-hand, in opposition to the plundering and privileged minority that constitutes the rulers of the state.

Now your kids can't escape. thirteen-year-olds back then, if they didn't watch the evening news, they didn't see news. if they didn't watch the 6:30 or seven p.m. news, they didn't see news. today younger people have much more access to that kind of hard news than you did when you were 13 back then.

The fact is that in england so many of our politicians are career politicians - they've always been politicians since they left their education. and in the old days of course politicians used to be fish mongers or doctors or whatever. they'd lived life. these days, power seems to go to the hands of people that that's all they've done. and i'm not sure that's a good thing, because it does remove them from the realities of life.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

That the reason why they are not fallen already and do not fall now is only that god's appointed time is not come. for it is said, that when that due time, or appointed time comes, their foot shall slide. then they shall be left to fall, as they are inclined by their own weight. god will not hold them up in these slippery places any longer, but will let them go; and then, at that very instant, they shall fall into destruction; as he that stands on such slippery declining ground, on the edge of a pit, he cannot stand alone, when he is let go he immediately falls and is lost.

Trust involves letting go and knowing god will catch you.

To reach up for the new, you must let go of the old. what lies behind you is not nearly as important as what lies in front of you.

Being stuck is a position few of us like. we want something new but cannot let go of the old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. we are out of contact with our own genius. sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. in both cases we have to do something.
