“All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George Orwell
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”— Samuel Adams

I always plant sunflowers at the edge of the corn patches. I noticed the
thrice cursed crows would only destroy the outer rows of corn and I guessed
this is because they don't want to feel confined. Sure enough, if the ends
of the field are in a tight triple row of sunflowers, the crows will not go
into the corn.
