Political quotes for Jack…just ‘cuz:
“In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it’s time to look elsewhere. . . . Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.” -M. Williamson

“The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining…and unless you become more watchful in your states and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of government have been given or bartered away?.- Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, 1837″

And, for Jack, on his leaving and hopefully, his return…..I bid you adieu my new friend…and look ever forward to your return…

“Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.”-Richard Bach

“Sweets to the sweet: farewell!” -Shakespeare

“Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace…” -Bible

“You and I will meet again, When we’re least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won’t say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again”-Tom Petty

“Chuckie: Oh, I don’t know that. Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by to pick you up. And we go out we have a few drinks, and a few laughs and it’s great. But you know what the best part of my day is? It’s for about ten seconds from when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door. Because I think maybe I’ll get up there and I’ll knock on the door and you won’t be there. No goodbye, no see you later, no nothin’. Just left. I don’t know much, but I know that.”-from Good Will Hunting

“Unless one says goodbye to what one loves, and unless one travels to completely new territories, one can expect merely a long wearing away of oneself and an eventual extinction.”-Jean Dubuffet

…have a great time Jack
