Answer 1

Ben Franklin was a very astute man.

Here's another great quote from one of our founding fathers:

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." --- Thomas Jefferson

Answer 2

Yes, I feel that relates in today's world. We've been approaching the terrorism issue from a fear standpoint: "We must do anything we can to keep them from attacking again!" The problem with that is the "anything we can." Everyone is mortal. To some extent, the important part isn't when we die, but how we live.

Answer 3

Well..when John Edwards isnt speaking with dead babies..he is making statements on Nationaly televised debates like this:

"the pharmecutical companies, the oil comapnies, and insurance companies will never give up their power. The only way they will give up their power..is if we take it away from them".

or how about Hillary stating that "I will take those profits away from the big oil companies".
Sounds like some people already have that plan to take away your rights huh/

Answer 4

naah today's world.

Answer 5

Not at all.
