Self proclaimed one-liners

I thought the USN saying was:
"You can eat anything if you serve coffee with it!"

Perhaps Imaginnos1892's quote came from a different Navy?

No, you are let out on bail.

The version I saw was

Don't knock yogurt - it's the only culture some people have.

And there's always George Carlin's take on it

When yogurt goes bad....how do you tell?

more government is only the answer if you’ve asked a very strange question.

governments have a tendency to abuse and expand any new powers they receive.

Thinking about the Laffer curve. If you consider all extractive means as dragging on the economy: When there is too much extraction, the economy drags to a halt. But if there are no government or cultural barriers, the rioters, looters, and other crooks start extracting. I saw an European study of the relation between government as a % of GDP and their efficiency in actually producing good results. Surprise: the highest efficiency was in the lower % brackets.

Summary: Too much government and the crooks have taken it over. Too little, and the crooks are more direct in their taking.

Nothing to see here, run along.

My father grew up in the Depression and he had to deal with a level of poverty that made me feel lucky, even when I had nothing.

This fits my parents also. My father's mother was widowed when dad was ten. Grandma always would say that there was enough for today, discuss plans about how to prepare for the next day, then work the plans. They never took welfare. They were victors, not victims. They taught their descendants! Even if we must live poor, we choose not to live in poverty

Liberalism is for poor people who are content to stay poor. Conservatism is for poor people who want to make a better life for themselves.

I tell you that from experience because I have been poor.

Same source as the immediate above quote.

Why do we think actors will make good politicians; do we subconciously think they'll throw themselves into their roles with dedication and act a good part, or is it that we want someone who can make the lies more believable?
