Time to rethink my career...
"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."
-Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, 1949, then just a writer
When the government fears the people, we have liberty. When the people fear the government, we have tyranny.
I was in a movie. I also wrote the music. Marco made this one, and I walked around not laughing! Marco, once again, kicks ass!
More Quotes:
"It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously."
- Galen Strawson
In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.
-Orson Scott Card

Random quote for now:
"Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly and warn the people of Canada..."

-Isaac Asimov, Canadian Atheists Newsletter, 1994

"It is the things for which there is no evidence that are believed with passion. Nobody feels any passion about the multiplication table or about the existence of Cape Horn, because these matters are not doubtful. But in matters of theology or political theory, where a rational man will hold that at best there is a slight balance of probability on one side or the other, people argue with passion and support their opinions by physical slavery imposed by armies and mental slavery imposed by schools."

-Bertrand Russell

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.

Isaac Asimov
