Folks should be able to harvest, store, use, or sell their own energy as they see fit. This is not a Democratic nor Republican issue, and if anyone tries to convince you it is, they are being purposely misleading.
There is nothing a good long walk can't help work out.
No great advancement has ever been kept at bay because of ideology, nor greed. Eventually progress moves us forward.
You value the thing you are fighting for, but then you learn to value the time it takes to do it and the time you have off. Both of which are precious.
I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.
I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.

I like doing the action and the romantic comedy stuff,
The fracking chemicals sit in open pits, get trucked around, or sent through pipelines that can burst. What do you think happens when frack chemicals and floods and storm swollen rivers mix?
