"That democratic socialism, the great utopia of the last few generations, is not only unachievable, but that to strive for it produces something so utterly different that few of those who wish it would be prepared to accept the consequences, many will not believe until the connection has been laid bare in all its aspects."

-F. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom, page 23

I can't explain what a true, genuine friend is but I can tell you it's not always easy and that you will know if you have one and if you *are* one.

INTO A SOUL ABSOLUTELY FREE
FROM THOUGHTS AND EMOTION,
EVEN THE TIGER FINDS NO ROOM
TO INSERT ITS FIERCE CLAWS.

ONE AND THE SAME BREEZE PASSES
OVER THE PINES ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND THE OAK TREES IN THE VALLEY;
AND WHY DO THEY GIVE DIFFERENT NOTES?

NO THINKING,NO REFLECTING,
PERFECT EMPTIENESS;
YET THEREIN SOMETHING MOVES,
FOLLOWING ITS OWN COURSE.

THE EYES SEE IT,
BUT NO HANDS CAN TAKE HOLD OF IT-
THE MOON IN THE STREAM.

CLOUDS AND MIST,
THEY ARE MIDAIR TRANSFORMATIONS;
ABOVE THEM ETERNALLY SHINE THE SUN AND THE MOON.

VICTORY IS FOR THE ONE,
EVEN BEFORE THE COMBAT,
WHO HAS NO THOUGHT OF HIMSELF,
ABIDING IN THE NO-MIND-NESS OF GREAT ORIGIN.

THE GREAT MISTAKE IS TO ANTICIPATE THE OUTCOME OF THE ENGAGEMENT;YOU OUGHT NOT TO BE THINKING OF WHETHER IT ENDS IN VICTORY OR IN DEFEAT.LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE,AND YOUR TOOLS WILL STRIKE AT THE RIGHT MOMENT.

My good friend and colleage Dennis Tueller (creater of the Tueller Drill) said at our banquet this year during Action Targets LETC, Advanced Law Enforcement Training Camp, Provo Utah:

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Freedom is a well-armed lamb challenging the vote.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." Twisted Evil

You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for
them what they could and should do for themselves..
