It is well known that in war, the first casualty is truth - that during any war truth is forsaken for propaganda.

Government doesn't work. You work, I work, Federal Express works, Microsoft works, the Salvation Army works, Alcoholics Anonymous works, but government doesn't.

The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens - even if you don't own a gun yourself.

A secure individual...knows that the responsibility for anything concerning his life remains with himself-and he accepts that responsibility.
