Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.: P.J. O'Rourke
Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.: Andrew Brown
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), "On Liberty", 1859
The right to vote is a *consequence*, not a primary cause, of a free social system -- and its value depends on the constitutional structure implementing and strictly delimiting the voters' power; unlimited majority rule is an instance of the principle of tyranny.: Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982)
This country has been strip-mined by rich and powerful interests. If you dont like what they're doing, don't just sit there. Vote them out.: Ralph Nader (1934 - ), Playboy Interview - June 1992

Women are being considered as candidates for Vice President of the United States because it is the worst job in America. It's amazing that men will take it. A job with real power is First Lady.

How much fame, money, and power does a woman have to achieve on her own before you can punch her in the face?: O.J. O'Rourke
For all the gold and silver stolen and shipped to Spain did not make the Spanish people richer. It gave their kings an edge in the balance of power for a time, a chance to hire more mercenary soldiers for their wars. They ended up losing those wars anyway, and all that was left was a deadly inflation, a starving population, the rich richer, the poor poorer, and a ruined peasant class.: Hans Konig
