“The de facto guideline for the living of human life in the Western world today seems simply to be ‘whatever makes you happy’—‘so long as you’re not hurting anyone else’—in which the criteria for happiness, too, are self-determined, self-reporting, and therefore immune to critique….” James Tonkowich.
“In principle means - relating to the definition of, not relating to particular circumstances. If an apple has a worm in it, the worm is not part of the definition of the apple. It doesn't change what the apple is in principle. To act as if concepts are laughable means you want to be irrational. A person who is impotent or a person who is infertile does not change the definition of marriage in principle. Because between a man and a woman in principle, procreation is possible and it is that possibility that gave rise to the institution of marriage in the first place. However, when it is impossible like between to males or two females, it is not just incidentally impossible, it's impossible in principle. If you say that is a marriage, you are saying that marriage can be understood apart from principle. You have changed its definition, whereas in fact you have destroyed the necessity for the institution because that is the only reason it has existed in human society, to regulate from a social point of view the obligations and responsibilities attendant upon procreation. So, when you start playing games in this way, you're actually acting as if the institution has no basis independent from your arbitrary whim.” Alan Keyes.

“If you proceed “Pro se,” you will lose your case and your money, and you will have a conviction record. So in order to effectively represent yourself and your interests, your 'mission' is to proceed 'in propria persona' (or “Pro per”). This is what you must sign on every court document next to your name. This means that you are not only the legal counsel representing the defense, but you are also the accused whom you are representing, in person. Do not represent yourself any other way. This also means that the judge cannot lawfully hold you responsible for conducting yourself or your case, as a licensed attorney, nor can he/she force you to hire one. You are free to proceed as you see fit, as a sovereign citizen. Your legal counselors are just that, counselors. And there is no law preventing your friends from consulting with you during any court proceeding.” Unknown.

“Persons may even hear daily the best of instruction, and the most solemn warnings, and yet so divert their attention from it, as to feel its power but little if any. Thus, Judas was always thinking of money, so that even the preaching of Christ did him no good.” Charles Finney.
