He is a man who cards the wool of his mattress until nothing is left, and he ends by sleeping on the boards.   [Celui qui veut trop faire dépendre son bonheur de sa raison, qui le soumet à l’examen, qui chicane, pour ainsi dire, ses jouissances, et n’admet que des plaisirs délicats, finit par n’en plus avoir.

But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either. You have to give us proof and evidence. This is not high school and this is not middle school.

It is void of desire and fear, lust and anger. It is mens sine affectu, written reason, retaining some measure of the divine perfection. It does not enjoin that which pleases a weak, frail man; but, without any regard to persons, commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich or poor, high or low. It is deaf, inexorable, inflexible.</blockquote>Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) English politician, republican political theorist [also Sydney] Discourses Concerning Government, ch. 3, § 15 (1689) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/sidney-algernon/75339/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/sidney-algernon/7533…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=blindjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blindjustice</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dispassionate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dispassionate</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equalprotectionunderthelaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equalprotectionunderthelaw</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equalprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equalprotection</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#justice</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=legalsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legalsystem</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=rationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rationality</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reason</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=unemotional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unemotional</a>

Coach Pāṇini ®McElroy’s proper place in the world. His 1989 book, “The Search for an American Public <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Theology</a>,” argued that the fundamentalist strain of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a>, which wanted government leaders to base decisions on certain Scriptures, was too partisan and alienating to unify a country as diverse as the United States. Instead, Catholics should find common ground through an appeal to <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/reason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reason</a>, he believed. You didn’t need to quote the Bible to establish human life as sacred. <a href="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/02/historic-or-heretical-san-diegos-cardinal-is-one-of-the-u-s-s-most-consequential-catholic-leaders/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/02/historic-or-heretical-san-diegos-cardinal-is-one-of-the-u-s-s-most-consequential-catholic-leaders/</a>
