To Pet The Sphinx





Ever since I was a little kid, I've wanted to visit The Valley Of The Kings and pet the sphinx.
Is it legal to do that, I wonder?
Probably not anymore, seeing as how he's had so many erosion problems.

I'm thinking about Egypt today because of this.

Thomas Jefferson Was No Fool

Two quotations from President Jefferson, resonating powerfully in the present moment:

"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. "

"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."
