The universe was exploding, each particle away from the next, hurtling us into dark and lonely space, eternally tearing us away from each other - child out of the womb, friend away from friend, moving from each other, each through his own pathway toward the goal-box of solitary death.

[Our goal] is to help revive America's traditional values: faith, family, neighborhood, work and freedom.
