A Couple quotes from George Carlin

Many people in this country want to expand the death penalty to include drug dealers. This is really stupid. Drug dealers aren't afraid to die. They're already killin' each other by the hundreds every day. Drive-bys, turf wars, gang killings. They're not afraid to die. The death penalty means very little unless you use it on people who are afraid to die. Like the bankers who launder the drug money. Forget dealers. If you want to slow down the drug traffic, you have to start executing some of these white, middle class Republican bankers. And I don't mean soft American execution like lethal injection. - Napalm and Silly Putty

I'm sure looters don't call it looting. They probably think of it as extreme shopping. - Napalm and Silly Putty

    What makes me upset about the Friedrich Nietzche quote is not the quote itself but the fact many thought he was insane and started Nazism.

    His reputation for that will never fade. While some of his ideas were used by the Nazis, he didn't create the movement.
