“I don't know about you, the world is here to be mythologized. It has, therefore, no other end. Transforming into myth, to be a myth! That's what we call eternity.”

“We should resolve now that the health of this nation is a national concern; that financial barriers in the way of attaining health shall be removed; that the health of all it's citizens deserves the help of all the nation.”

“The health care bill is nothing about health care- it's about controlling the people.”

“We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.”
