"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods." ~ H. L. Mencken

"That erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else." ~ H. L. Mencken

holy cow woman... I didn't see your ditch story until just now. Glad you came out of it okay!
I've got a tons of sliding on ice/ending up in ditches stories. I drove a firebird for 5 years (not exactly a snowbird vehicle ).
One time, I did a series of 360's down the middle of a 2 lane highway while the car in front of me and the one behind me did the same thing. It was kind of like a ballet in it's beauty... especially considering none of us plowed into each other or ended up wrapped around a light pole. I think I did say "Jesus, take the wheel!" for that one... I let go and just "enjoyed" the ride.

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away, separate or united, healthy or insane
And to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah ~ Chris Cornell

I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. ~ Og Mandino
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.~ Carl Jung

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the ****, leap. ~ Cynthia Heimel
