People don't want to face the facts. It's upsetting, but I'm not going to change for it. I'm going to keep beating down the wall until it sinks into people's heads. But keep it fun, or you become what you're preaching against.

That's the basis of the Constitution. The government is for the people, by the people. And once they stop working for us, you can reinstate a new government. New Orleans, 9/11, the Iraq war — that's three strikes as far as I'm concerned. And I think the patriotic thing to do is speak out about these things and start voting for people who will clean up the mess. It's too late if we wake up at 65 and realize there's no Social Security.

Firefighters don't like the term 'culture change.' They think it's an assault on tradition. But look at the facts. Half of the firefighter deaths each year are due to heart attack, and another 25 percent are guys who die in car accidents on the way to the fire. Firefighters are indeed heroes, but these are not hero deaths.
