Some other stuff about me.
The Bill of Rights:

the text of the original bill.
(U.S. Constitution).
``Treat the people with kindness and the root of the nation will
flourish;
abuse them and the country will be ruined.''
``You just think about your own family, your own son, your own daughter, or
-- Hakuin
grandchildren who might be, the next time they go to a doctor, the subject
of some medical experiment that they are not even told about. I do not
think there can be many things more un-American than that.''
-- Sen. John Glenn,
introducing a bill, S.193
(killed in Congressional committee),
to protect human experimental subjects.
``The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, because
the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily decieved
than they are consciously and intentionally bad.
The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie
than a small one, because they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed
to tell big ones.
Such a form of lying would never enter their heads. They would never
credit others with the possibility of such great impudence as the complete
reversal of facts. Even explanations would long leave them in doubt and hesitation,
and any trifling reason would dispose them to accept a thing as true.
Something therefore always remains and sticks from the most imprudent of lies, a
fact which all bodies and individuals concerned in the art of lying in this world
know only too well, and therefore they stop at nothing to achieve this end. ''
