How the American right managed to convince itself that the programs to alleviate poverty are responsible for the consequences of poverty will someday… - Molly Ivins

That’s the trouble with this country, people keep messin’ up each other’s movies.

It's all very well to run around saying regulation is bad, get the government off our backs, etc. Of course our lives are regulated. When you come to a stop sign, you stop; if you want to go fishing, you get a license; if you want to shoot ducks, you can shoot only three ducks. The alternative is dead bodies at the intersection, no fish, and no ducks. OK?
