What a great line! "Tyranny posing as righteousness.." Found on page 126 of "Liberty and Tyranny" For me, this line sums up this book perfectly. Tyranny as defined by dictionary.com is "arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power". Righteous is defined as "The quality or state of being in accordance with virtue or morality." So, by hiding behind the mask of doing what is virtuous and moral, the government has been able to exercise and unrestrained use of power. After seeing what has transpired in congress over the healthcare bill, this quote also sums up the current state of our republic.
It is virtually freezing outside today. Temperature in the 30's with some April flurries blowing around. It doesn't get much better than April snow. As such, I decided to run inside on the treadmill. I ended up running 4.11 miles in 29:47 for an average pace of 7:13 min/mi per the Nike+. I felt really good running as I gradually increased my speed throughout from 7.6 miles/hr finishing up at 9.3 miles/hr. Tiger Woods was nice enough to congratulate me on my fastest mile. Too bad he had just missed saving par on the 4th at the Masters. I also heard that Tiger still has not met a hole he has not liked.
