This reminds m a quote from Solzhenitsyn found on this site: "You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power - he's free again." (from The First Circle)

Don't know who said it but "A person is dangerous when they have nothing to lose or everything to lose."

This is a virtual cafe where all ideas are entertained all facts discerned, all topics discussed. And just because the proprietor has a passion for Christ, books, and the Acoustic guitar, that doesn't mean you can't veer wildly off into different subjects. So, come in, have a coffee (imported especially from Verble's finca in El Salvador), and talk about whatever you want.
