If you're a liberal, anything you say is protected. If you're a conservative, anything you say is hateful.

And that's too bad whether you're a liberal or conservative.

It's humbling and enthralling to know your legacy when you're alive.

When you're the victim of the behavior, it's black and white; when you're the perpetrator, there are a million shades of gray.

This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later.

I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that.
