Advice to Young Men - William Cobbett

Until very lately, I have had, for the far greater part 
of the time, the whole of the press as my deadly enemy.

Life - Diderot

LIFE: "To be born in imbecility, in the midst of pain and crisis to be the plaything of ignorance, error, need, sickness, wickedness, and passions; to return step by step to imbecility, from the time of lisping to that of doting; to live among knaves and charlatans of all kinds; to die between one man who takes your pulse and another who troubles your head; never to know where you come from, why you come and where you are going! That is what is called the most important gift of our parents and nature. Life."

Look, dumbfucks, the law is clear on this. You can't just willy nilly grab whomever you'd like from a foreign country, slap a "Hello, I'm a terrorist!" name tag on them and then deny them any right whatsoever to contest their capture and detainment in a non-kangaroo (i.e., military) court.
