About Me

Josephus P. Franks
New York City, josephus.p.franks AT gmail.com, United States
Religion: Reformed Catholic Hindu with Muslim leanings. ******** Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. ... all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. - H.L. Mencken ****** Lawyer: One skilled in circumvention of the law. Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. Peace: In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting. - Ambrose Bierce ***** Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. - John Maynard Keynes
