I still believe in good and bad, in black and white, in right and wrong. I believe the guilty should be punished.

Even lawyers. - Jack Bullock

There are no Ph.D.s in the KKK. I truly believe that people who expose themselves to the arts -- fine arts, visual arts, poetry, literature --- people who expose themselves to good ideas will not end up adopting bad ones. It's the guys who don't come into contact with new and better thoughts --- who do their work and pay the bills but aren't exposed to new ideas in any way that influences them --- who are most likely to hang on to the old bad ideas they learned as a child. - Ben Kincaid

Insanity is my dominant characteristic. - Christina McCall
