People try to persuade us that the objections against christianity spring from doubt. that is a complete misunderstanding. the objections against christianity spring from insubordination, the dislike of obedience, rebellion against all authority. as a result, people have hitherto been beating the air in their struggle against objections, because they have fought intellectually with doubt instead of fighting morally with rebellion.

Being a patriot doesn’t mean prioritizing service to government above all else. being a patriot means knowing when to protect your country, knowing when to protect your constitution, knowing when to protect your countrymen, from the violations of and encroachments of adversaries. and those adversaries don’t have to be foreign countries.

Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. let my tax money go for the protection of me. protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property...worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life.

I talked to over two hundred patients and family members about their experiences with aging, serious illnesses, and the big unfixables. but i also spoke with scores of physicians, and especially geriatricians, palliative care doctors, hospice nurses, and nursing home workers. the biggest thing i found was that when these clinicians were at their best, they were recognizing that people had priorities besides merely living longer. the most important and reliable way that we can understand what people's priorities are, besides just living longer, is to simply ask. and we don't ask.
