Snowden has enough [sic] information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had.

George Orwell

We're setting up mechanisms where we can kill human beings with drones and missiles where you're sitting at a console and pressing the button.

At the end of the tour last year, I was completely fried. I felt my soul was begging me to give it a release.

Statistically, Portland, Oregon has the most street kids, like kids that run away from home and live on the street. Its like a whole culture thing there.

A strange age of the world this, when empires, kingdoms, and republics come a-begging to a private man's door, and utter their complaints at his elbow! I cannot take up a newspaper but I find that some wretched government or other, hard pushed and on its last legs, is interceding with me, the reader, to vote for it.
Henry David Thoreau
