WHEN, in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the Causes which impel them to the Separation.



We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.



Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,



it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government,

and to provide new Guards for their future Security.




This shit is so fucking me!!!!!!

Maynard did a blotter of Saturn and found Jesus (again.) Jesus was a PEZ dispenser. For those with ADD,

let us repeat this: Jesus was a PEZ dispenser.

"betting on my love life is like putting two grand on a blind, one-legged dachschund to win the

Kentucky Derby"

Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.



Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction,
check your premises.

You will find that one of them is wrong.





















Well, the man who despises himself tries to gain
self-esteem from sexual adventures—which can’t be done,
because sex is not the cause,
but an effect and an expression
of a man’s sense of his own value...


“The men who think that wealth comes from material resources
and has no intellectual root or meaning,
are the men who think—for the same reason
that sex is a physical capacity which functions
independently of one’s mind, choice or code of values.

They think that your body creates a desire
and makes a choice for you
just about in some such way as if iron ore
transformed itself into railroad rails of its own volition.
Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason
and mocks the power of all philosophers.

But, in fact, a man’s sexual choice is the result
and the sum of his fundamental convictions.
Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive
and I will tell you his entire philosophy of life.
Show me the woman he sleeps with
and I will tell you his valuation of himself.

No matter what corruption he’s taught
about the virtue of selflessness,
sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts,
An act which he cannot perform for any motive
but his own enjoyment

Just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity!
An act which is not possible in self-abasement,
only in self-exaltation,
only in the confidence of being desired
and being worthy of desire.
It is an act that forces him to stand naked in spirit,
as well as in body,
and to accept his real ego as his standard of value.

He will always be attracted to the woman
who reflects his deepest vision of himself,
the woman whose surrender permits him to experience
or to fake—a sense of self-esteem.

The man who is proudly certain of his own value,
will want the highest type of woman he can find,

the woman he admires,
the strongest,
the hardest to conquer
because only the possession of a heroine will give him
the sense of an achievement,
not the possession of a brainless slut...

He does not seek to gain his value,
he seeks to express it.

There is no conflict between the standards of his mind
and the desires of his body.




Love is our response to our highest values
and can be nothing else.




You would be incapable of desire for a woman you despised.
Only the man who extols the purity of a love devoid of desire,
is capable of the depravity of a desire devoid of love.



But observe that most people are creatures cut in half
who keep swinging desperately to one side or to the other.



One kind of half is the man who despises
money, factories, skyscrapers and his own body.
He holds undefined emotions about non-conceivable subjects
as the meaning of life and as his claim to virtue.
And he cries with despair,
because he can feel nothing for the women he respects,
but finds himself in bondage to an
irresistible passion for a slut from the gutter.
He is the man whom people call an idealist.

The other kind of half is the man
whom people call practical,
the man who despises
principles, abstractions, art, philosophy and his own mind.
He regards the acquisition of material objects
as the only goal of existence
and he laughs at the need to consider
their purpose or their source.
He expects them to give him pleasure
and he wonders why the more he gets, the less he feels.
He is the man who spends his time chasing women.

Observe the triple fraud which he perpetrates upon himself.
He will not acknowledge his need of self-esteem,
since he scoffs at such a concept as moral values;
yet he feels the profound self-contempt
which comes from believing that he is a piece of meat.
He will not acknowledge, but he knows that sex is
the physical expression of a tribute to personal values.

So he tries, by going through the motions of the effect,
to acquire that which should have been the cause.
He tries to gain a sense of his own value
from the women who surrender to him
and he forgets that the women he picks
have neither character nor judgment nor standard of value.

He tells himself that all he’s after is physical pleasure—
but observe that he tires of his women in a week or a night,
that he despises professional whores
and that he loves to imagine he is seducing virtuous girls
who make a great exception for his sake.

It is the feeling of achievement that he seeks and never finds.


What glory can there be in the conquest
of a mindless body?”
