1. The easiest way to become king is pretend to be stupid. To everyone, all the time, including your spouse.
2. Don't expect honesty.
3. All empires rot right after they invade Afghanistan. It never fails.
4. Don't install puppet governments. The puppet will turn and bite your nuts. (From "The First Sacrifice" by Thomas Gifford).
5. Never, oh never, absolutely never, ally yourself with a nation which speaks a non-Indo-European language in which you might get into a conflict with a nation that has an Indo-European language. Example: Germany's alliance with Japan.
6. Flipping burgers, selling real estate and refinancing are no substitute for industrial power and state-of-the-art factories.
7. Education means math, engineering and the sciences. The rest of the education establishment is parasitic.
8. All governments without a hard currency will fall.
9. All governments providing for the welfare and health of their citizens will reach a point, within a single generation, where they will refuse to spend the necessary money to defend themselves.
10. "Do not trust the media." --Jesse Ventura
11, There is no sanctuary. There is no utopia.
12. Religion and politics do not mix. Any politician who says he wants to help make your family stronger is not only lying, but trying to steal something from you.

the place do you reside? In Baltimore city, distinctive the African and African American analyze instructors are black at almost all of the colleges. At a extreme college in Nebraska, i'd be keen to wager distinctive the lecturers are white, black background or math or despite. I agree that this is effective whilst instructors have own connections with their situation remember. yet i think of the racial composition of instructors on your college is possibly dictated extra with the aid of the demographic of your section than something. i think of in many factors of the US, you will come across a a lot larger proportion of black instructors coaching black background. additionally, your instructor who mentioned that blacks have been never element of a great civilization, if that's in reality what he mentioned, became into blatantly incorrect. It seems such as you comprehend that, in spite of your race or his. i does not placed too a lot weight on his race, nevertheless. Ignorant is ignorant.

It doesnt matter to the government how many people they have to kill to get what they want. I think EVERYONE should take ICS Native American History in College so you can learn about how the US Gov't was founded.
