From the mouth of the man who saved Western Civilisation

Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Sir Winston Churchill

A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.
Sir Winston Churchill

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
Sir Winston Churchill

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Sir Winston Churchill

It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
Sir Winston Churchill

The price of greatness is responsibility.
Sir Winston Churchill

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
Sir Winston Churchill

The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.
Sir Winston Churchill

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age.... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, This was their finest hour.
Sir Winston Churchill

Is the PM elected by the people, or the House of Commons? I'm not sure. I could see the House of Commons not reelecting him. I'm not too sure about the British system of government.

The people wanted changety change, and the Labour Party was it. Social reforms like nationalized health care. Sound familiar?

You know what's weird? When I was posting about the Utah trip, I tried to post a picture of a statue of Joseph Smith, but it disappeared when I was moving the pictures around. Then I tried again and I got the 'site can't be found' thing. Sorta got the creeps and thought it was best to leave the man alone. (insert xfiles music)

The Mormon church wouldn't exist without censorship, IMHO.

Yeah,

You'd better be careful with Joseph 'two translations' Smith.
