Injury

Random quote of the day:


"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket not breaks my leg."

—Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia

If I were rich, I'd buy some property near an Interstate in the Bible Belt and put up a billboard with that quote.

I have to hope they would. They're Americans as well as (self-claimed) Christians, after all.
