One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offence to keep arms, and by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the militia.

Although they had nothing of their own to hand down to those who were to come after, they robbed posterity of its ancestral heritage Picture Quote #1

I think it is well... for the man in the street to realise there is no power on earth that can protect him from bombing, whatever people may tell him. The bomber will always get through. The only defence is in offence, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly than the enemy if you want to save yourselves Picture Quote #1

I am very sorry if I have caused any offence. It was a poor choice of costume Picture Quote #1
