Mission Statement

Albert Einstein once said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". This blog attempts to explore whether we all are insane or just victims of a corrupt system.

The End of the Beginning

"Moral suasion, the appeal to the rational nature of man, is doubtless a very good thing. But it will not compare with immoral suasion for inducing swiftness of thought or promptness of action. The burglar surprised in his raid and requested to 'please go away' will argue the case in the forceful burglar way. But when a pistol is pushed in his face with the laconic order 'Get!" - he goes and stands not on the order of his going. The pistol, with its six solid arguments, is a wonderful persuader, and in the line of immoral suasion cannot be surpassed.

It is a reflection of man's reason that he often refuses to do what common sense dictates, until he is forced to do it. Common sense tells a man that he cannot live irregularly and keep his health...But because Nature does not directly threaten his life as the pistol does he goes right along until he is obliged to reform because disease forces him to do so."
