Post WOD: Watch "A River Runs Through It"
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

We held in common one major theory about street-fighting - if it looks like a fight is coming, get in the first punch. We both thought that most dudes aren't so tough as they talk - even dudes who look as well as talk tough. If suddenly they feel a few teeth loose, they will rub their rubs, look at the blood on their hands, and offer to buy a drink for the house. "But even if they still feel like fighting," as my brother said, "you are one big punch ahead when the fight starts."
There is just one trouble with this theory - it is only statistically true. Every once in a while you run into some guy who likes to fight as much as you do and is better at it. If you start off by loosening a few of his teeth he may try to kill you.

All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable which makes you see something you weren't noticing which makes you see something that isn't even visible

Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach out to them. Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.

Ponder (post thoughts to message board):

(1) "The move to take the capital the citizens have saved will be disguised as a means of alleviating the needs of the poor, or equalizing the burdens of government, of sharing the wealth. When that comes, the conquest of citizens will be complete; tyranny will be enthroned till liberty is again brought back across many bloody fields of battle. Thus will history again repeat itself." - J. Reuben Clark.

(2) "Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." - Patrick Henry

(3) "Our civilization and our people are seemingly afraid to be revolutionary. We are too "broadminded" to challenge what we do not believe in. We are afraid of being intolerant - uncouth - ungentlemanly. We have become lukewarm in our beliefs ... This is a sad commentary on a civilization which has given to mankind the greatest achievements and progress ever known. But it is even a sadder commentary on those of us who call ourselves Christians, who thus betray the ideals given to us by the Son of God himself." - Ezra Taft Benson

(4) "Any Christian constitutionalist who retreats from this battle [establishment and preservation of freedom] jeopardizes his life here and hereafter. Seldom has so much responsibility hung on so few so heavily ... The cause of freedom is a most basic part of our religion. Our position on freedom helped get us to this earth and it can make a difference whether we get back home or not." - Ezra Taft Benson

Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.

"Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied."

“Yet the individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.”
- J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director

“The real menace of our republic is the invisible government which, like a giant octopus, sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation. At the head is a small groups of banking houses generally referred to as ‘international bankers.’ This little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run our government for their own selfish ends.”
- John F. Hylan, NYC Mayor (1922)

“Brethren, let us think about that, because I say unto you with all the soberness I can, that we stand in danger of losing our liberties, and that once lost, only blood will bring them back; and once lost, we of this Church will, in order to keep the Church going forward, have more sacrifices to make and more persecutions to endure than we have yet known, heavy as our sacrifices and grievous as our persecutions of the past have been.”
- J. Reuben Clark

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name of 'liberalism', they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until one day America will be a Socialist nation without knowing it happened."
- Norman M. Thomas, 1948 (leader of the Socialist party, founder of the ACLU).

"The aim and purpose...was then and is now world socialism, which communism seeks to achieve through revolution and which socialists seek to achieve through evolution."
- Ezra Taft Benson, 1961.

"We call upon all Church members completely to eschew Communism. The safety of our divinely inspired Constitutional government and the welfare of our Church imperatively demand that Communism shall have no place in America."
- (Signed: Heber J. Grant, J. Reuben Clark, Jr., David O. McKay, The First Presidency, in Deseret News, 3 July 1936)
