Number . . .

https://www.astrogle.com/numerology/interaction-of-

number-2-with-other-numbers.html

. . . two

It's imperative to in sequence go,
When presenting wares,
Be they many or few.
Place carefully, don't merely throw,
whether great in number, or simply pairs,
In order from the first, to two.

(from https://medium.com/@arlen.parsa/15-inspirational-quotes-about-speaking-up-against-injustice-336f382c1578)
“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” — Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” — Elie Wiesel

“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.” — Dr Martin Luther King Jr

“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.” — Thurgood Marshall

“Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

Two . . .

http://clipart-library.com/two-cliparts.html

. . . suggestions from which to choose .Mssrs. Pompeo and Barr,
Either apply your moralizations to the current commander-in-chief, without exception, or stop your digressive and devolutionary pontifications.

(from usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/14/state-dept-website-promotes-mike-pompeo-speech-critics-decry/3980544002/)
". . . Pompeo . . . (touted). . . Christianity throughout the remarks, describing how he applies his faith to his government work, referencing God and the Bible during the entirety of the speech. . . Attorney General William Barr, also gave a speech on religion on Friday, decrying secularism as a root of some of society's problems, including drug overdoses, mental health issues, and violence. . ."

(from https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens)
Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

Two . . .

(from http://www.selfgovernment.us/news/3)
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
-- John Adams, Letter to Jonathan Jackson (2 October 1780), "The Works of John Adams", vol 9, p.511

Both . . .

. . . ways . . .

(from http://thefederalist.com/2016/09/07/first-amendment-double-edged-sword-kaepernick-rapinoe/)
". . . As far as the members’ (Santa Clara Police Officers’ Association) second job at the stadium (49ers’ home stadium) goes, this is true. But phrased as an absolute right, it makes the average citizen question the union’s commitment to non-discriminatory policing. Citizens should respect the police, who put their lives on the line to maintain order and safety in our communities. But the idea that they have a right to do their job without criticism—that anyone has such a right—is ludicrous. . . Police officers have every right to disagree with Kaepernick’s statements and actions. Kaepernick, for his part, has the same right to disagree with the police. And while SCPOA members have the right to quit their second jobs as private security for the 49ers, their union should be careful about establishing a precedent that they have the right to work free of criticism. If they want to quit, they should quit, and let the 49ers hire new security guards. But they, and we, should also remember that the First Amendment runs both ways . . . "

Third . . .

. . . by two (of three) . . .

. . . members of OHO . . .

Heard somebody say
They overheard you
Just the other day
A simple word
About the way we get along
If only I were sure
Of the semantics
Having doubts 'cause I'm
One hopeless romantic
Could it be
You're slipping away from me

What will I do
If what I'm thinking is true
And you want to be
Really free of me
I won't last very long
Very far from your heart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Heard somebody say
They thought they saw you
Walking in their way
You were not alone
They said he didn't look like
Thinking to myself
Must be mistaken
Try not to believe
but still badly shaken
Why would you
Deceive me in things you do

So many years
Sharing our laughter and tears
Lasted very long
Maybe I was wrong
Not to ask you
Why you feel
We've drifted apart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts

Are my sources reliable
Wait and see
Wait and see
Is my psyche too pliable
It could be
It could be

If somebody said
The sky was falling
Would you believe it's true
And change your direction
From spinning round
When it hits the ground
That's just not true
Any believers are few
When you've seen it all
It could never fall

Any more than
I think you could
Tear us apart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts

Are Two . . .

. . . ALWAYS better than one?

(from http://www.notable-quotes.com/h/hypocrisy_quotes.html#oOoL0Dtjk21AcqkT.99)
"Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins."
RALPH WALDO EMERSON

"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true."
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE

"Whenever a man undergoes a considerable change, in consequence of being observed by others, whenever he assumes another gait, another language, than what he had before he thought himself observed, be advised to guard yourself against him."
JOHANN CASPAR LAVATER

"A man is a hypocrite only when he affects to take a delight in what he does not feel, not because he takes a perverse delight in opposite things."
WILLIAM HAZLITT

"For neither man nor angel can discern
Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks
Invisible, except to God alone."
JOHN MILTON

Two . . .

. . . things. . .

. . . that I think many people don't fully examine when they're listening to conservative candidates speak are:

1. Do you want to COMPLETELY neglect anyone (or everyone) in society who are not YOU or your immediate family?

2. Although the size of the national debt is incomprehensible to you (as it well is to me), do you really think that when these people talk about lower TAXES that they really intend to lower YOUR taxes?

Two . . .

. . . faced. . .

Our very own government has mastered the art of hypocrisy with the recent outrage they've expressed over the situation in the Ukraine. But while its own citizens are not all fully cognizant of this fact, they are not fooling many Russians. John Kerry said that it is unacceptable to invade another country on a 'completely trumped-up pretext' or simply because you do not like its current leadership.

Meantime, Iraq notwithstanding, the U.S. initiated or participated in armed attacks in Libya, Somalia, Pakistan and Yemen and still refuses to join or recognize the International Criminal Court.

And while Putin's actions have been irresponsible and dangerous and could still backfire, it was not unprovoked.
