I was just on www.goodreads.com and I read two quotes that my friend Nick has posted that were really interesting. With everything that has been going on in the last few weeks, it is hard to deny that we are headed toward becoming a socialist (to at least some degree) nation. I really wish the leaders of this country knew history a little better.
"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude." — Alexis de Tocqueville
"I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." — Thomas Jefferson
