You can't be a real country unless you have a beer.
I am the slime oozing out from your TV set. You will obey me while I lead you, and eat the garbage while I feed you.
Only thirteen, and she knows how to nasty.
Studied law, but not qualified to practice it.
There will never be a nuclear war; there's too much real estate involved.
The difference between religions and cults is determined by how much real estate is owned.
Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.
To me absurdity is the only reality
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.

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.
