When asked by a young man if he should seek to marry, Socrates answered him:
“By all means marry: if you get a good wife, you will be happy; if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher.”
The Oracle of Delphi called Socrates 'the wisest man' because he said:
"I know I know nothing!"
Of course, he only knew this because his wife, Xanthippe, told him so.
Every day!

This country has decided to interpret the Constitution loosely (basically anything not directly prohibited in the constitution, at face value, the government can do) many years ago.
Why do people seriously pretend to act surprised? Social security, medicare, medicaid, practically the entire great society, the thousands of regulations under nixon, and so on. And people are only noticing now.
The Republicans and Tea Partyers sold out the constitution when it was convenient for them and now they wonder why most of the country doesn’t have their back when Obama admin is butchering the constitution.
Everything Obama is doing is an extrapolation of the unconstitutional acts we’ve allowed in the past, by people of all political views.

That’s what the judge said, too…

Xanthippa…. does this now rise to the level where you think the violent overthrow of the government is in justified? Are you thinking you might want to blow up a federal building or something like that?

Xanthippa – I am trying, as per your suggestion, to make sure that my home arsenal is comparable with the Canadian armed forces. Accordingly, I have managed to procure a few Leopard C2 battle tanks, but am embarrassingly short on biological and chemical weapons. Can you please let me know how you obtained the anthrax and sarin nerve gas that I’m guessing you have stockpiled out in the bomb shelter? Do you have contacts with that Japanese millenarian cult?
