I tend to feel if people say they're going to do something, they will, if given the chance.

We're facing growing climate change, more floods, more droughts, more crisis on a planetary level, and the systems we put in place in the twentieth century are just not going to work. We've run out of stuff. Our big problems are going to be energy supplies and food supplies. This is not a right-left issue.

I'm bad at picking heroes.

We battled in secret, undeclared, and after a while I no longer fought back because I never won. The only defense was flight, invisibility.

There's more private security in the United States than there are publicly funded forces, like police. What you don't want is a meld of government and commerce - you really want to keep those two things separate - because once you have that meld, you've got megacorruption, and you have no third force to whom you can say this stuff is poisoning our kids.

If you want what's in the package you should at least know how to get the string off, is what I say.

As we know from the study of history, no new system can impose itself upon a previous one without incorporating many of the elements to be found in the latter.
