Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. --- Thomas Jefferson

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. --- C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock (Grand Rapids: W.B. Eerdmans, 2002), p. 292

John 10:27,28
My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can take them out of my hand.
Faith and Philosophy
"I wish that I may never think the smiles of the great and powerful a sufficient inducement to turn aside from the straight path of honesty and the convictions of my own mind." --- David Ricardo, The Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo, Vol. VII, p. 372
Massachusetts Links
John 15:1
I AM the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
Worthy Causes
We do not abandon reason, we merely recognize its limitations. We reason to the existence of God, it is revealed to us that His Son was the incarnation, and that such was His love of us that He endured a torture excruciating in pain, and unique in aspect — the God of hosts, mutilated by His own creatures, whom He dies forgiving, loving. Can we do less? Yes, we do less, but we must try to do more, until we die. --- William F. Buckley, Jr. in Nearer My God
Inspiration
COLOSSIANS 1:16-17
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

William F. Buckley (1925 - 2008)
I will not cede more power to the state.
I will not willingly cede more power to anyone, not to the state,
not to General Motors, not to the CIO.
I will hoard my power like a miser,
resisting every effort to drain it away from me.
I will then use my power, as I see fit.
I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God,
subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority
of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth.
--- Up from Liberalism (1959) ---
