Looking for that Lincoln quote someone had in their signature

[Jay Cohen]

Was that you D$D?

What was that quote?

Thanks

[Uglyowl]

Was it this from Tuff_Fish?

[Jay Cohen]

Thank you, that's it.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Hmmm. He forgot to include "unless he's a newspaper publisher editorializing against my war."

Wow, the US is so far away from this in so many ways.
Sigh.

[kidpokeher]

Exactly my thoughs.

Yes, but remember in President Lincoln's time the US had about 60 million people. Today it is about 300 million with much greater ease of transportation and communication. So it is easier to bump into another man's nose. Still our government has strayed way more than necessary from this ideal.

I'm pretty sure the first part is about jerking off.

I think the tough part of that quote is defining "rights".

Has "rights" been defined as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? In that case, ouch!

[Mr Sarcastic]

Upon hearing that Samuel Morse had perfected the telegraph, President Lincoln remarked, "Seems like that thing could be used for gambling. We need to pass the Wire Act of 1861."
