Past Philosophers

The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
--Plato (428/427 BC– 348/347 BC)

Why is it that the citizens of this Great Nation are so full of Apathy today. Plato as quoted above was well aware of this over two thousand years ago. Do we not learn anything from past events?

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office--Aesop (~550 BC)

How many crooked politicians can you think of. The more things change the more they stay the same. Are all politicians crooks or are all crooks politicians?

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.--Aesop (620-560 BC
How many politicians in difficulties are running our great nation today? When the fox is in the hen house….

If we really knew the answers to all these questions we could not sleep at night.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the Kings Horses and all the kings men could not put humpty together again.

Greed overpowers righteousness.

Until next time.
