"Leave Me Alone," He Said

A man was recently arrested for some serious crimes.  He is an ex-convict who had served many years in prison for sexual crimes against children.  During questioning he declared:  "Leave me alone, I know I have a problem."  "Leave me alone?"  What an interesting comment/request .  Yes, he does have a problem.  His "problem"  involves giving other people (young and old) many, many problems.  Serious ones.  This man can say good-bye to his freedom for a long, long time.  Yes, I would say he has a problem.

Two Quotes About Laws




"Positive laws are tyrannical. One's individual rights -- whether they be life, liberty, or property -- must be sacrificed by the state in order to fulfill the positive rights of another. For example, if housing is considered a "right," then the state will have to confiscate wealth (property) from those who have provided shelter for themselves in order to house those who have not.... True justice is realized when our lives, and property are secure, and we are free to express our thoughts without fear of retribution. Just laws are negative in nature; they exist to thwart the violation of our natural rights. Government ought to be the collective organization -- that is, the extension -- of the individual's right of self-defense, and its purpose to protect our lives, liberties, and property."  Mark Da Vee 


"The people must fight for their laws as for their walls."      Heraclitus (c.540-480 BC) Greek philosopher

"When The Swords Flash"



"When the swords flash let no idea of love, piety,  or even the face of your fathers move you."


 Gaius Julius Caesar       (100-44 B.C.) Dictator of the Roman Republic
