Don't get me started on Maggie Thatcher...

"There's no such thing as an innocent bystander" - Refering to people caught in riots, probably some small child who took a plastic bullet in the head.

"General Pinochette was a good friend to this country" - Reminding us we shouldn't prosecute him for killing thousands when he helped Britain out over the Falklands War (because it suited him).

Part of poem, "The Double Life" by Don Blanding:

"How very simple life would be

If only there were two of me

A restless Me to drift and roam

A quiet Me to stay at home

A searching one to find his fill

Of varied skies and newfound thrill

While sane and homely things are

By the domestic Other One."

(after 4 more stanzas, it ends)

"The restless Fellow always wins

I wish my folks had made me twins"

 

then, Vernon Tejas, returning from an extended climb,"Man moves quicker towards a food source than he does going away from a food source."

In relation to everything going on right now:

"...I have slipped the bonds of Earth and, from my vantage point on the

Moon, I stand watch over the uncharted new frontiers of Space.

I have been a silent witness to all of America's finest hours.

But my finest hour comes when I am torn in strips to be used as bandages for

my wounded comrades on the field of battle-when I fly at half-mast to honor

my Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, and when I lie in the trembling

arms of a grieving mother, at the gravesite of her fallen son or daughter -

I am proud.

My name is Old Glory -long may I wave.

Dear God, long may I wave."

-Old Glory, unknown
