"That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the
globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and
improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and
benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire,
expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any
point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our
physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive
appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of
property."
- Thomas Jefferson
"Our rulers can have authority over such natural rights
only as we have submitted to them"
- Thomas Jefferson
"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

"I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which when you
looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated."
- Poul Anderson
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to
whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor,
for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.
It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fevered pitch
and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed,
the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism,
will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.
How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
- Julius Caesar
"Hey, can I use 'background-colour:' in my stylesheets?"
