Our youth can not understand why society chooses to criminalize a behavior with so little visible ill effect or adverse social impact... These young people have jumped the fence and found no cliff. And the disrespect for the possession laws fosters a disrespect for laws and the system in general... On top of this is the distinct impression among the youth that some police may use the marihuana laws to arrest people they don't like for other reasons, whether it be their politics, their hair style or their ethnic background.

Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.

I never leave a game before the last pitch, because in baseball, as in life and especially politics, you never know what will happen.

The press is the enemy.

You cannot win a battle in any arena merely by defending yourself.
