theloniusfleabag Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 Dear all, The following is a quote from a book I have read. I wonder if it applies to Mr. Bush's ([and/or] president of the USA) current and future actions, as it would certainly come from his beliefs. "In the nature of things, it would after all be logiacal that one goal should be advocated by only one association, and that, reasonably speaking, several associations should not pursue the same goal. Thus, an association or a party (or country) is founded which, according to it's program, should either bring about the elimination of existing evils or the achievement of a particular state of affairs in the future. Once such a movement has been called to life, it possesses a certain practical 'right of priority'. It should really be obvious that all men who fight for the same goal should join a movement and thereby add to it's strength, thus better to serve the common purpose". While this quote is vague on it's purpose, the question is really 'what is the 'correct' cause to serve? Also, 5 bonus points for whomever guesses the author of the quote.

KrustyKidd Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 While this quote is vague on it's purpose, the question is really 'what is the 'correct' cause to serve? For Americans I would think that it is perfectly clear - God and Country. Although first you must be of use to these higher callings by being able to serve them. This would be achieved by ensuring that you are taking care of yourself, your family and your close circle of associates (or friends). If you don't believe in God then shoot for Country. If you don't believe in Country then stay the hell out of the way and let the men folk do it. Why do you make an association between Hitler and Bush? I give you credit for being free thinking, but when you pull this rhetorical leftist dogma out, (which you disguise as intellectual sparring) it makes me wonder. Maybe when you get out of Die Slammenbuker you can get another book. Possibly Michael Moore's "Uber Dude, Wheren Isht Mien Arsholen." At least then you can learn how he lost all that wieght, as that is the only true fact in that sheaf of toilet paper. Quote We're Paratroopers Lieutenant.
