Edward Abbey: Quote for January 2, 2013

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy.

I intend to be among the outlaws.

Charles Fort: Quote for December 26, 2012

The fittest survive.
What is meant by the fittest?
Not the strongest; not the cleverest —
Weakness and stupidity everywhere survive.
