To me, the amazing thing is that so much that was science fiction back then, political fiction, today is reality. We have indeed a spacecraft called an international space station. And we have the diversity of this planet working on that ship, including Americans and Russians working side by side. I think the imagineers are the ones that set the goal. And the inventors and the technicians see that as a goal to work toward, or the political scientists and the diplomats. And eventually, that's arrived at.

We must remind ourselves that an assault on any one of our liberties and freedoms is an assault on all.

Social media is like ancient Egypt: writing things on walls and worshiping cats.

The large majority of faith-based people are decent, fair-minded people. We should not characterize people of faith as the adversaries of GLBT equality.

Today we have the economic collapse that the whole planet is suffering, but there is hope, and that's what's going to keep us moving ahead.

The word today is "detained," not "interred." People are being detained with no due process. They don't know what the charges are, why they're being detained. Simply because they have an Arab name or some association, but there are no charges.

I've run the marathon several times, so I definitely don't look like the Great Ancestor!
