Individual Liberty — Individual Responsibility

For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”
— Perri Nelson, November 6, 2008

Saddam will probably take a short drop with a sudden stop on Saturday. I wonder if he'll bounce like a yo-yo.

Islamic "grass roots" movement ousting Buddhists in Thailand. At least that's how the New York Times would report it.

Rent a room. Get Drunk. Get kicked out. Drive Drunk. Have Accident. Sue Hotel.

Strict Muslim's upset that Indonesia Playboy trial closed to public. I guess they wanted to see the pornography without paying for it.

Over $1 Million Worth of Prada Goods Stolen From Warehouse. The Devil could not be reached for comment.

Asia phone links start to recover. Spammers rejoice.

Dirty bomb police numbers to rise. Soap shortage blamed.

1979 Corvette Pro Bracket car for sale by owner. Quarter mile E.T.s in the high 11.5 to low 11.8 second range. Send requests for more information to perri AT nofemotorsports dot com.
