Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.

I've come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.

I am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.

The nature of freedom of choice is that some people will misuse their responsibility and hurt themselves in the process. We should do our best to educate them, but without diminishing choice for everyone else.

You know, sometimes, when they say you're ahead of your time, it's just a polite way of saying you have a real bad sense of timing.

I make one pledge above all others - to seek and speak the truth with all the resources of mind and spirit I command.
