Constructive gadfly

Arlington National is the epitome of ultimate sacrifice that kept us free; we weep, but seldom vote in honor of those who sleep there.

The self is measured by what it can procure at the other’s expense.

If there’s one thing I can’t stand it is a gutless war.

What idiot in the Pentagon ordered from China those abominable “republican guard” black berets and mock our fighters of freedom?

I stopped ordering the US flag postage stamp for fear I would inadvertently paste it upside down.

Marriage should not be sanctified by religion or state without at least a year’s probation.

Justice as purely disinterested is for the gods; justice as we know it is for the rogues of self interest.

An inflated ego is a sure sign of diffidence.

“Truth shall make ye free” is no consolation to one on death row.

Call me an idealist, but I refuse to believe that Abraham would have slain his son had he not heard the voice of God.

Really good ones, stevendedalus! In the seventies, if I sent a right side up stamp to people, I got in trouble because putting it upside down meant I love you. But then again, we had to kiss every time we saw a car with one headlight only, so go figure.

Symbolism is a strange enterprise.
