A quotation from Euripides

HECUBA:   Then no man on earth is truly free,
   All are slaves of money or necessity.
   Public opinion or fear of prosecution
   forces each one, against his conscience,
   to conform.
 
ἙΚΆΒΗ:                                        [φεῦ.
   οὐκ ἔστι θνητῶν ὅστις ἔστ’ ἐλεύθερος·
   ἢ χρημάτων γὰρ δοῦλός ἐστιν ἢ τύχης
   ἢ πλῆθος αὐτὸν πόλεος ἢ νόμων γραφαὶ
   εἴργουσι χρῆσθαι μὴ κατὰ γνώμην τρόποις.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 864ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Arrowsmith (1958)]

“He got away with it. So he expects, reasonably, that he can do it again.”

#Trump & his allies are using their drive to slash the size of the federal work force to break the bonds of #restraint. To do so, they are deploying a strategy of #intimidation, #punishment & #coercion. They have silenced #watchdog agencies, discharged prosecutors, forced resignations & dismissed government officials whose job it was to maintain #ethical standards.

I've been accidentally included in an email discussion about trying to get some people elected to an HOA and it's really hard not to say something like what about his drug record or didn't she kill her last three husbands..


Someone on Facebook is selling a Nikon 85/1.8 AF for a song. Tempting, but I should use the glass I have. #restraint
