exists job opportunity people proved rewarded suffering
Job was tested, and he proved himself. Because of that he was rewarded greatly, and I think the same opportunity exists for those people suffering so sorely now.

The wind just hindered us today, to be honest. As dry as it is, it's not unusual at all.

People can identify with the personality of their favorite bookstore.
government liberty littles
A little government involvement is just as dangerous as a lot - because the first leads inevitably to the second.

Disarmed citizens encourage crime and violence. Armed citizens encourage criminals to find a safer line of work.
bullying hate america
But, actually, it is only Americans who say that our freedoms and prosperity are the reason foreigners hate us. If you ask the foreigners, they make it clear that it's America's bullying foreign policy they detest.
insecure political promise
For those looking for security, be forewarned that there's nothing more insecure than a political promise.
cancer rain loss
From the cranberry cancer scare of the 1950s to the Alar-in-apples hysteria of the 1980s, from the "new ice age" of the 1960s to the "global warming" of the 1990s, environmental alarms almost always turn out to be false. Few non-political scientists fear ozone loss, global warming, or acid rain. These are just issues that some people hope to use to reorder the lives of the rest of us.
rights race government
[Before the Civil Rights Act of 1964], many governments in southern states forced people to segregate by race. Civil rights advocates fought to repeal these state laws, but failed. So they appealed to the federal government, which responded with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But this federal law didn't simply repeal state laws compelling segregation. It also prohibited voluntary segregation. What had been mandatory became forbidden. Neither before nor after the Civil Rights Act were people free to make their own decisions about who they associated with.

What we really need is compassion of the mind - compassion for others that is directed intelligently and produces truly compassionate results.
libertarian-party government giving
You can't give the government the power to do good without also giving it the power to do bad - in fact, to do anything it wants.
miracle vision may
You don't need an explanation for everything, Recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily.
temptation promise trying
I have no temptation to vote, to campaign, to try and stop a candidate who promises new follies.
