I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it.

You can’t convince me that the Founding Fathers wouldn’t allow you to secede.

Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.

Because others have let us down, it is now our duty to face the hard truths and do the right thing--no matter the personal cost.

You can either complain about how hard your life is, or you can realize that only you are responsible for it.

Gun-free zones don't deter criminals-they help them by providing a guarantee that they will not face any armed resistance. But they do deter the law-abiding. A faculty member with a concealed-handgun permit who breaks the campus gun ban would be fired and likely find it impossible to get admitted to another school. Bringing a firearm into a gun-free zone can have serious adverse consequences for law-abiding people. But for someone like the Virginia Tech killer, the threat of expulsion is no deterrent at all.

You can't love your mother or father if you don't also have the capacity to grieve their deaths and, perhaps even more so, grieve parts of their lives.
