Favorite Quotes
- There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers Richard Feynman
- America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. Hunter S. Thompson
- There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. Ayn Rand
- Hence fascism's odd fusion of privilege and folksiness; one might call it a movement that thinks like Halliburton and talks like George W. Bush. Roderick T. Long
- Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Cicero
- Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one Thomas Paine
