I'm 68 years old, and I'm as much a criminal now as I was at the age of 22. And, I'm even more of a dissident than I was then.

Having a book censored means something. It means you have deeply offended one or more people who felt they needed to protect unsuspecting readers from your inflammatory words, thoughts, and images.

To be censored is one sure way of knowing you have been taken dead seriously. It also speaks to the continuing power of the printed word, almost fifteen hundred years after that amazing invention.

There's no such thing as old age. I'm no different now than I was 50 years ago. I'm just having more fun.

I couldn't swear that I believed in the law - or in the American legal system.

I over-scrutinize anyone new entering my life.
