Is History Being RePLAYED?????????

How was our 1st PM ousted fm his office???????

I'll leave to historian, but in my opinion there might be someone directing the plot.

Why did the General issue a statement to caution the Government to take stern action?

Why is the Army issuing statement cautioning the Govt??


Aristotles Quips - Peoples Ponderings

Man is by nature a political animal


He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

Man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all.

Money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent.
Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural.

Men ... are easily induced to believe that in some wonderful manner everybody will become everybody's friend, especially when some one is heard denouncing the evils now existing in states, suits about contracts, convictions for perjury, flatteries of rich men and the like, which are said to arise out of the possession of private property. These evils, however, are due to a very different cause—the wickedness of human nature.

It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.

Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.

Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.

That judges of important causes should hold office for life is a disputable thing, for the mind grows old as well as the body.

They should rule who are able to rule best. (II.1273b5)

The good citizen need not of necessity possess the virtue which makes a good man.

If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the government to the utmost.

Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions. (V.1302a29)

Well begun is half done.

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. (V.1314b39)

The basis of a democratic state is liberty.

Happiness, whether consisting in pleasure or virtue, or both, is more often found with those who are highly cultivated in their minds and in their character, and have only a moderate share of external goods, than among those who possess external goods to a useless extent but are deficient in higher qualities.

Law is order, and good law is good order.

Let us then enunciate the functions of a state and we shall easily elicit what we want: First there must be food; secondly, arts, for life requires many instruments; thirdly, there must be arms, for the members of a community have need of them, and in their own hands, too, in order to maintain authority both against disobedient subjects and against external assailants....
