Let us hope our weapons are never needed - but do not forget what the common people of this nation knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny.

The death penalty would be even more effective, as a deterrent, if we executed a few innocent people more often.

I believe that there is a kind of poetry, even a kind of truth, in simple fact.

God is a sound people make when they're too tired to think anymore.

There is no force more potent in the modern world than stupidity fueled by greed.

Though men now possess the power to dominate and exploit every corner of the natural world, nothing in that fact implies that they have the right or the need to do so.

I find more and more, as I grow older, that I prefer women to men, children to adults, animals to humans.... And rocks to living things? No, I'm not that old yet.
