I would like to think there is a difference. A fool chooses counter to reason, while the naive choose according to ignorance. I still hold out hope that the ignorant can be educated.

Unfortunately, U.S. Presidents and their agendas have rarely been a reflection of the people but that of a shadow of power. The political winds simply direct the angle of encroachment.

I'm not sure which are worse, the fools or the naïve? Most fools cannot help being so, while the naïve are such by choice (or lack of choice to educate themselves).

Amen. Chairman Obama was REelected as if his original election was not proof enough.

I've followed him for many years. He's one of the best commentators out there. And witty, too.

Fools have always outnumbered the non-fools. It is the investigation of this phenomenon that will send you to God.

Thank goodness Aristo is okay. Cars can be replaced.

Here is one of my favorite contemporary Christmas songs.

The holidays can be bittersweet when you think of family lost. This one always reminds me of my father...

Hello khalling,
Property rights must start with self and grow from there. I can see no other way for rights or liberty to exist. Many will make a claim upon your person, your time or property. It is all the same .. a form of servitude.
To Self!
Happy Holidays!

Hello sjatkins,
It would seem that today the fools outnumber the sensible by huge margins. Common sense is all too uncommon and reason is practically non-existent. This site is generally a beautiful exception.
Regards,
O.A.

Unfortunately I suffer from altogether too many fools, many of which have power over me.
