“When the philosopher's argument becomes tedious, complicated, and opaque, it is usually a sign that he is attempting to prove as true to the intellect what is plainly false to common sense” (explains the posts of many Conservatives I know. They flood the forums with pounds of writing...)
“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”
“One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.”
“If the end does not justify the means - what can?”
“In the modern techno-industrial culture, it is possible to proceed from infancy into senility without ever knowing manhood”
“High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring”
“When a man's best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem” (true of both my dogs, but then I am a dog too...)
“Civilization is a youth with a molotov cocktail in his hand. Culture is the Soviet tank or L.A. cop that guns him down.”
“The only thing worse than a knee-jerk liberal is a knee-pad conservative.”
“Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.”
Remember before we get to the one I chose as best and last consider that Edward Abbey passed away in 1989. Consider how prescient he was to know the neo con enemy way back then!
“Our 'neoconservatives' are neither new nor conservative, but old as Babylon and evil as Hell”
