You don't dig me, I don't understand what it is, I had my car reupholstered.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Politics Is the Entertainment Branch of Industry. C-SPAN's coverage of governmental proceedings is wonderful. Caution! Buffoons on the Hill! Wallowing in blabber and spew, regiments of ex-lawyers and used-car salesmen attempt to distract us from the naughty little surprises served up by deregulated corporate America.
Outdoors for me is walking from the car to the ticket desk at the airport
All the old history was written for the amusement of the ruling classes. The lower classes couldn't read, and their rulers didn't care about remembering what happened to them.
Republican is fine, if your a millionaire. Democrats is fair, if all you own is what you wear. Neither of them's really right, cause neither of them care.
No, I don't think people really give a shit about that (meeting one's maker) unless they're completely bamboozled by religious superstition - to live your life in planning for this good time you're going to have in the sky

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.
It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralize the long-range effects of our national stupidity
Cocaine decisions that you make today, will mean nothing later on when you get nose decay.
