Just once in a while let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.
Fame is morally neutral.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.

To be persuasive, we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible, we must be truthful.

Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
A satellite has no conscience.
