Free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
I once called Geico to see if I could save money and they asked for my SSN. After giving it and running a 'check' they replied no such SSN existed. Suffice to say I am not a Geico customer.
after RTFA I am not so sure what's going on is clearcut, so take this story with some salt.
Clearly the sales reps are 'shaking down' some restaurants, but I think it's more likely that they are trying to inflate their own numbers and don't have the power they pretend or are wording it in such a way that it seems they can do more than they can.
What you get is just the ability to choose one review to be 'front and center'. Otherwise all reviews are placed by an algorithm. So a sales rep says 'we could help with that negative review' but what they mean is 'because you get to place one featured positive one at the top'
So it is proper to act like barbarians? Keep in mind it wasn't only the French King who lost his head, but thousands of innocents, since there was not system of civilized justice.
The same thing happened with Mussolini. It wasn't just him killed, but dozens of others killed without trial.
So do not reference these events as 'justice' for there was none.
This was used as a motto on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania. (1759); the book was published by Franklin; its author was Richard Jackson, but Franklin did claim responsibility for some small excerpts that were used in it.
There is no particular case that we can prove he came up with this, but it seems he applied it whenever he thought necessary.
An earlier variant by Franklin in Poor Richard's Almanack (1738): "Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power." The saying has also appeared in many paraphrased forms:
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.
He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.
People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both.
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.
Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.
public education might make things better if it were funded like the military is...
(And don't give me that 'throwing money fixes nothing' crap. Money can fix anything when spent properly. We need more higher paid and higher educated teachers and better facilities)
Slavery is what divided the nation. That was the issue that got Lincoln elected, and that was the issue that provoked the Southern states to secede. Lincoln always stated that he had no intentions of forcing abolition where it already existed but they seceded anyway (some before he was inaugurated even) because they did not trust him. Southern media depicted him completely contrary to his nature to inflame the public that he would free their slaves. He only agreed to free the slaves once he needed to boost northern morale and to gain black soldiers which he needed badly.
State's rights is perhaps what enabled the war to occur. If nation were more centralized then secession wouldn't have occurred despite Lincoln's election, and if it were more decentralized than the north wouldn't have cared. Certainly southerners fought for their 'state's right' to slavery but northerners fought for either union or abolition. (sometimes just one, sometimes both)
There's a lot of revisionism trying to shrug off slavery as part of the war but it still was the idea that set off the war and many died purely for abolition. I will concede it could have been another issue later, and that is the state's rights problem that the war settled, but to say it was not about slavery is just ludicrous.

I think it's cause dogs aren't allowed to have xbox live accounts.
And please stop with the whole gender thing. I don't care if you're a male.
And just shut up about what city you live in!
They're all just so *nice!*
And does it have storage room for coconuts?
Well, you can joke about a train wreck after a certain number of years has passed. Same principle.
Okay, bottom line, the British are going to shoot things now and then.

some livers filter differently than others based on genetics and resistance levels.
My toes will tingle after 1 shot of tequila, but I don't get smashed very often.
A whole bottle would probably equal blackout land for me.
My friend on the other hand just gets a little tired. Of course, liver damage occurs regardless of how you feel.
At least I save money this way.
Stephen? Disgusting!
Throw executions around like candy and they'll be turned against you.
What you are proposing is a thousand times worse than what they did and opens up the bag of human barbarism that we have so long fought to close.
to add to my point, those who killed Mussolini became as guilty as he was.

The glue industry does amazing things nowadays.
That would be accurate communication, which has never been a part of democratic elections.
(or how many voted against Obama because he's a secret Muslim?)

Hint: You're wrong, it's an amalgam of issues.
