My PF taglines

I run a discussion website called PeoplesForum.com. If you've been involved in online discussion forums, you may know that some of them allow people to choose a user picture, and what's generally called a "tagline" -- a second line of information that goes under the name. Usually it's a quote, or some sort of descriptive info about the person, or sometimes a website they like. Well, I just came up with a new tagline at PF, and I really like it. I was going to just mention it in passing, but I happen to have saved my previous taglines (since I stopped using the boring "CEO/Editor-In-Chief" or some variation on that), and there are some cool quotes and stuff in them, so I figured I'd share them with y'all. Not all of them are political, but they all provide a little insight into my attitude and personality.

In most cases, my tagline and picture have not been connected. I've used pictures of myself, or of my pets. More recently though, as my discontent with the Bush Administration has mounted, I've taken to posting more aggressive user pictures, and often in concert with a tagline that works with the picture. I'll post the associated pictures when relevant. I'm going to go from oldest to newest, so the more aggressive stuff will be at the end, with my new (and possibly favorite) one being last. Here you go:

"My interest in the future is because I am going to spend the rest of my life there." -- Charles F. Kettering

"Instead of telling our representatives there ought to be a law, let's tell them there ought to be a freedom." -- Mari Werner

"Loyalty to the country always; loyalty to the government when it deserves it." -- Mark Twain (via Utah Phillips)

"No tears to cry; No feelings left; This species has amused itself to death." -- Roger Waters

"The government's current rush to abandon any pretense of social responsibility ought to make this painfully clear: what the state supposedly giveth it promptly taketh away as soon as the balance of social power shifts." -- Ellen Willis

Believe in butterflies; if they can fly a thousand miles, imagine what you can do.

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." -- Alan Kay

I get knocked down, but I get up again

I'm the sysop your mother warned you about.

a day alive is a good day

Note: Then the war on Iraq started, and so did my aggressive tagline/picture combos.

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the global empire of America. And to the militarization for which it stands...one nation, under Bush, unstoppable, with occupation and domination for all. Praise Allah!

Note: The above picture is an image from the CIA's website, under the title "Terrorist Busters".
