"come on gravity, you were cool once..."
-Homer Simpson
Outstanding job on the Raleigh school on the
COS website (COS - Class of Seventy).....- Anonymous 01/16/10 - Yes, this page has not been
updated since the first of December of 2009 'cause Ye Ole Webmiester is
wearing many, many hats...although I'll have to admit that this website is
my favorite webby project, I think
the following quote sent by Mr.
Anonyman sums up time, that we...or I never seem to have:
"Like sands through
the hourglass, so are the days of our lives..." - original quoter is unknown Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at
waking you up in the morning. You
burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television - Source unknown
Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first U.S. president whose name contains
all the
letters from the word "criminal." The second? William Jefferson Clinton.
(You're
not surprised are you?) - Source unknown Procrastination is the mother of desperation
- Anonymous Mo quotes from
Thomas Jefferson:
When we get piled upon
one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall
become as corrupt
as Europe.
Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from
those who are willing to
work and give to
those who would not.
It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle
which if
acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
My reading of history
convinces me that most bad government results from too
much government.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of
arms.
The strongest reason for the people to
retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
as a last resort, to protect
themselves against tyranny in government.
The
tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
End of this section of Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson (b-1824 - d-1863) quotes
Frankly, I don't mind not
being President. I just mind that someone else is.
- Edward Kennedy
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and
the dreams shall never die.
- Edward Kennedy
I predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent the Government from wasting the labors of the
people under the pretense of taking care of them.
- Thomas Jefferson
I dream for a living.

Background info: Website
work is a lot of work, obtaining permissions to post, waiting for
answers, there's a lot of hurry up and wait and some hassling are
involved...so some humor is injected in my communications with the helping
parties...parts of which I'm enjoying....er....sharing here..hee,
hee, and well yes, wonderfully learnt from Creative Writing class during
our last year in school: The following is asking of a posting date of an
article that I was working on which will remain unidentified in order to
keep the informant anonymous: The informant was worried that I was
"pushing" for an OK, but I told him/her I was really flexible:
"Ah,
care to learn me about the special date & the day it falls on?"
So
here was my response:
Oohkayee, I'll hold off...
Don't make me
wait,
It's a very important date
Whatever you find,
I'm sure it
would be fine.
As soon as you let me know,
A publishing I will go.
Later on, he/she responded in kind:
Now it's fine
And you
can bide the time
To go a' publishin'
Hear the sighs
As they
find
The time is fine
As webmiester a rushin'
And soon there'll be
smiles....

I believe that banking
institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If
the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations
that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property
until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered..'
