Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle. If you do not fight, life will never be won.

Your turn now,congrats!

I hate to upsurp alismouha's authority over this contest, but I also hate for people to think that I'm just dragging around on picking a topic. If anyone wants to know, I chose the topic "politics". It kinda goes along with our last topic, don't ya think? Anyway, I'll delete this post once alismouha comes in and puts up his post with the topic on it. Oh, and my friend, lydianm's brother, runinghorse, asked me to put the link to the Abraham Lincoln quotes pick here while I was doing this, so here it is: link

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.

I'm sorry,guys,but some bug in the system bans me every time I post hyperlinks to the previous pick,happened thrice so far.

So,Someone else will have to do the job,Shortest straw?

I'll post your pick links, alismouha, but only if you don't get mad at me for upsurping you by going ahead and posting the next topic. :) JK. I'll post them anyway.

Nope,upsurp me all you want.
