"...by
the blood of our people are the lands of others kept safe."

"How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we
march against an enemy. " "The better the state is established, the fainter
is humanity." "In a free society, do citizens have a constitutional
right to be as stupid as they wish?" |
"This land is your land" (Kerry vs. Bush cartoon)

"Legalizing gay marriage is not about legitimizing homosexuality. Legalizing gay marriage underscores the vows and bonds people are willing to make to one another; it legitimizes the shared responsibilities and challenges that two people undertake when they decide to commit to one another for the rest of their lives. Legalizing gay marriage supports the sanctity of marriage.... Leave the moral issues and merits of homosexuality to individuals to fight about and figure out. Morality is not something our government should be in the business of mandating. Our government and Constitution should be providing the preserving the rights and equality of all people, not determining what is right for everyone." - Ian Miller, News & Observer July 15, 2004 |

"... what makes a man is responsibility. Responsibility for one's own actions, but also responsibility for the world around you - to address wrongs, to defend the weak, to do what is right regardless of personal cost. I think this is true of men and women alike. To truly be ethical, to be honorable, to be courageous and caring, one must be responsible for the world around you. " |
