Welcome to a thread where I mention some events that happened on this day in history. Obviously I will not be covering everything that happened on this day in history, as that would be an extremely long post each time. I hope you find these interesting...

I'm not sure which is worse.
"Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing." -Herodotus
"Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it. " -George Carlin

"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
