No structure can stand for long if the foundation be destroyed.

I posted only three paragraphs of a lengthy, well written piece.

Want to read the BEST DESCRPTION of the French Revolution and it’s consequences? Read Ann Coulter’s ....Demonic ....you’ll never forget it!

I'd heartily recommend Law and Manners by Lord Moulton.

I must ask you to follow me in examining the three great domains of Human Action. First comes the domain of Positive Law, where our actions are prescribed by laws binding upon us which must be obeyed. Next comes the domain of Free Choice, which includes all those actions as to which we claim and enjoy complete freedom. But between these two there is a third large and important domain in which there rules neither Positive Law nor Absolute Freedom. In that domain there is no law which inexorably determines our course of action, and yet we feel that we are not free to choose as we would

I'd be happy if folks drove in their own lane and chewed quietly with their mouths closed.

As a start, anyway...

Sure, I’ll listen to the guy who shot the dude on the $10 bill tell me about manners.

Boy, we accidentally hijacked your thread. Sorry, don-o.
