Quote of the Day

[patgund]

“Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.”

- Rudy Giuliani

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

But...wait...huh?

Is Rudy using "New Speak" now? Next year's elections are going to be doubleplusungood.

Newspeak!

I was under the impression that the privilege of freedom was the ability to pursue the goals of being who you want to be and doing what you want to do within the bounds of social order. Methinks Duke Giuliani has been reading Antonio Gramsci into his Thomas Paine.

Perhaps Rudy needs to be on the receiving end of a massing "Mail Rudy a F'ing Dictionary" campaign where the definition of Freedom is highlighted with dayglow yellow.

*headdesk*

JOhn.

Er, I mean "massive" not "massing". Too early to be typing coherently...

JOhn.

I like people like Rudy Goering, er Giuliani. Being that plain spoken should help keep people from making the mistake of voting for him.
