"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

I would have LOVED that as a kid, but surely... even back then, someone must have asked, 'ARE YOU INSANE?'

A lot of that kind of playground equipment was still up in the '60s. But it was iron pipe, not poles.

Not all that different than my elementary school had (and we had the centrifuge of death merry-go-round too)

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

I never had 20' ladders leading to play toys, DAMN! Looks like fun.

All that was left in my school yard was the iron pipe skeleton of a swing set -no swings. So, we climbed on the pipes.

It was hard times fo sho

No way could that exist to day.

A fall could be really, really bad.

I'd have been all over that thing.

Two things missing are a set of monkey bars along those top pipes and a set of rings.

Wow, that'd be great fun.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

That was at the old Trinity Park in Dallas which is now called Fretz Park and this is it today --

Looks a long-lost photo of a military training camp for little people.

And tell me again why knickers were ever a thing?

Bicycle chain protection.

Wow. How do you mount the swings when the seats are higher than what you can reach when standing on your tippy toes? Shimmy down from the bar above like the kid who is sitting rather uncomfortably in the middle of the photo?

And what's with the guys bullying the kid on the ladder at the right of the frame? Are they busting his fingers to force him off?

We really have gotten soft.
