I think we're coming to a place where we're saying all war is wrong. We might even learn something about the sensationalism we get caught up in with people like Donald Trump.
Dar Williams
But I benefit from the taxes I pay because I know how to access the benefits of the taxes.
Dar Williams
The best, most solid place to stand as you look at our present situation is on a foundation of history. The Roman Empire, the British Empire, and the Nazi empire all have things in common.
Dar Williams
There are a lot of people out there who are exactly half extrovert and half introvert and they love to be extroverts as long as they have enough time to go off and figure it all out.

When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.
Dar Williams
When people in government [make mistakes], they don't say, those people in the government. They say, we've got a problem to solve.
