I think tonite we need to remember what Abraham Lincoln once said...

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Tonite, our Senate is doing a damn good job of proving him right.

1. Fuck, I think Stalin even said that.

We've destroyed ourselves. Well, half of this country has destroyed the whole, anyway. Oh shit, and I was trying to be more positive in my thinking these days.

3. I thought you were going to use this quote about the value of labor:

Abraham Lincoln said:

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
