You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

his long form birth certificate or let the military slowly grind through all the challenges to CinC's authority?
Seems it would be easier to take 5 minutes out of his busy day and have the state of Hawai'i release the darn birth certificate.
