A bunch of us were appalled, ... I don't want to be represented by that. It's not Christian. ... And we're certainly not thinking about shooting government agents that come to our door.

Certainly that would be the plan. You have a bunch of guys who've bought into what your system is all about, and I think that everybody's even more determined to get there next year.

Sometimes, it's not as easy as it might seem on the surface. I certainly don't think we have a bunch of these areas in this town. You listen to some people, and they feel that the city is falling in on itself. I don't think that's the case.

The notion of what it represented is not a bad idea in 2006. This idea that someone is willing to pay for the Olympics when they want it, how they want it.

Everybody is just really appalled that an 8-year-old would be labeled, even if it's not going in his permanent record.

My theory is that this is not a time for timidity.
