I remind myself of this often.

Dreaming said...

What a great quote - and so apt!

Pixie said...

Truth

nick said...

A very good comparison.

Are the ICE agents innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? Seems to me that is a Constitutional Right. Mpls/St Paul is a cesspool at the moment...burning flags etc...so glad I do not live there.

Sandra said...

I have to admit, I forget it often, Lori.

Sandra said...

Sadly, yes. It seems to be the human condition, Dreaming.

Sandra said...

Sad but yes, Pixie.

Sandra said...

He was wise and articulate, nick.

Sandra said...

In legalese, yes. Which then in turn would mean that Renee Good should not be branded a terrorist until proven so. Yet that was the immediate response from the White House. Funny how it can work both ways, Far Side.

Sandra said...

BTW, my son and DIL live in North Minneapolis and I have seen no sign of a cesspool. I have seen a beautiful park with a creek running through it at the end of his block.

Boud said...

Am I in spam? Too sad, brilliant comment lost...

The Happy Whisk said...

I've heard, can't fix stupid before but not the dead medicine one. Wishing you a good new year! Been crazy warm here the last two days.

Sandra said...

It seems it went into the blogosphere, Boud. It's no in spam.

Miss Merry said...

I need to consider this more often.

CheerfulMonk said...

Amen to that! ❤️

DeniseinVA said...

That's an excellent quote Sandra!

Val Ewing said...

Great quote. My husband used to say the same thing only in simpler terms.

Sandra said...

It's been warm here, too, Ivy.

Sandra said...

It isn't easy, but probably for the best if we do follow this advice, Miss Merry.

Sandra said...

He was a wise man, Cheerful.

Sandra said...

He had a dry humored got to the point, Denise. I have some of his writing, Common Sense being one.

Sandra said...

It is sensible advice but difficult to follow, Val.

Lori Skoog said...

What is it going to take for decency to return? There is no such thing as a conversation anymore.

Sandra said...

Lori, I don't know. It's a very bad time we are in.
