"Some writers have so confounded Society with Government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and Government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a patron, the last a punisher." --- Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
