White-collar crime gets more outrageous by the second in America.

People have less privacy and are crammed together in cities, but in the wide open spaces they secretly keep tabs on each other a lot more

The hope for a messiah puts too much on that one person. And you think that absolves you of personal responsibility and you don't have to act because that person will do it for you.

I have a friend who lives in the South Side of Chicago. I helped out at a church charity there where they try to give a bit of cohesion to a desperate area. Everyone was very welcoming

I went to college at the University of Kansas, where I got a degree in political science.

But what I've learned is, when your adrenaline is flowing, you can do a lot. I'm not very physical, but once some punks were trying to break into my house and I chased them down.
