As I listened, it occurred to me that interest in and affection for the animals that share the planet with us may be a more unifying force than any other.

America, the temple of invention and industry, doesn't make things anymore.

Respect and affection for animals, particularly those who share our homes, recognize no geographic borders.

The worst thing that can happen to us in an ideological struggle is to become what we are fighting.

Our actions in the Middle East over the last 15 years have already guaranteed radical Muslims quite enough ammunition to kill Americans for the next century, even if Guantanamo did not exist.

Currently, 94 out of 100 of us pay the Social Security tax all year round.

We like to believe that, in our lifetime, the human condition is improving.
