OK, I’ve not been talking enough.\u00a0 I only have more of the same to say — Kayla and I are happier than either of us could have imagined, and we’re planning our re-handfasting (WITH Civil Ceremony this time) to take place on November 6.\u00a0 Any subscriber to my blog is welcome to attend, just let us know you’re coming.<\/p>\n
We are discovering many things together, and I am not at liberty to discuss what Kayla is discovering.\u00a0 I guess that is to say, unless you ask her, it’s none of yer bizness.<\/p>\n
But at any rate, we’re doing lots together, talking and talking and talking like the absolute closest of friends, and feel very happy when we’re together even during our worst days.\u00a0 What more can you ask for in a marriage?<\/p>\n
Feel free to email me at zaivalananda@yahoo.com if you want to talk about more stuff.<\/p>\n
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled series of quotations.<\/p>\n
===<\/p>\n
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
– Alexis de Tocqueville<\/p>\n
=<\/p>\n
Throughout the history of the United States, war has been the primary impetus behind the growth and development of the central state. It has been the lever by which presidents and other national officials have bolstered the power of the state in the face of tenacious popular resistance.
– Bruce D. Porter<\/p>\n
=<\/p>\n
Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose — and you allow him to make war at pleasure. If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, ‘I see no probability of the British invading us’ but he will say to you, ‘Be silent; I see it, if you don’t.’
– Abraham Lincoln<\/p>\n
