railfancwb Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I should be careful. I have preached to my kids all their lives that nothing is worth doing, if it isn't worth doing to excess.A number of worthwhile quotes from Robert A Heinlein make this point - usually far more eloquently than I can alone. “Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.”Robert A.

railfancwb Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Another quote from Robert A Heinlein...“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’“‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”Robert A. HeinleinMr Heinlein died May 8, 1988 - almost 31 years ago - and this quote predates that, probably a number of years. And the problem he described has gotten worse at an accelerating pace.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is recorded throughout history, but the public is always surprised when it happens again: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship.” Alexander Fraser Tyler, “The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic” 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not to far from where this happened. The east side near the lake is likely where it happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 A very rare rifle. Taurus took the Winchester 62 pump action design and made a lever action rifle based on it. Supposedly Winchester had developed the design but never put it into manufacturing. Was not a big seller for Taurus and was only cataloged for a year or two circa 2007.
