I look at the newspapers, and I cannot believe most of the stories I read. Bernie Madoff, who actually screwed millions of people for billions of dollars, it's just unbelievable what he got away with and how long it took for him to be exposed. A guy like that should be hanged.

We're a nation of sheep. If you go out and look up at the sky, people around you will start looking up at the sky.
