Andrew Jackson et al 
                                                        Quotations...  

"A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." - GeorgeBernard Shaw.

"If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free." - P.J. O'Rourke

"History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes." Mark Twain
 
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore" - YOGI BERRA

"There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages
 all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." - John Maynard Keynes

“I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.” – Sir Isaac Newton, after losing a fortune in the South Sea bubble

"A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him." - J.M. Keynes

"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once.
Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack." - Winston Churchill, Sir (1874-1965)

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off" - Gloria Steinem

Rendezvous in Paris On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of  Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.  No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.  The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.  Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground.  If you haven't seen this before it is a classic, if you have seen it I apologize, but it's still a classic. Turn on your sound and enjoy...
