 The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert, and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them: the mindless luxury of a rich civilization
  Jean Baudrillard

 The sounds we made were actually quite serene and nice. We didn't click the frogs during performance, though, because we were all musicians and never would have done anything that would harm the music. It was more of a playful protest between pieces.

 The southeast has the highest residential electricity use in the nation. We consume more electricity, more coal-fired electricity in the south. That's why it's such a great place to begin. If we can cut the bills in half here, we can lead the nation.

 The state of the union today is that we have low-income Americans begging for their prescription drugs, and seniors are going without any coverage. The president has botched the Medicare so badly that it doesn't resemble a 'benefit' for most seniors.

 The struggle to reveal and deal with the full truth surrounding the handling of Holocaust-era assets is wrenching, but also cathartic, ... Only by knowing and being honest about the past, can we gain peace in the present and confidence in the future.

 The successful GTV flight is a major milestone for APKWS II. Our previous successful ballistic test vehicle flights and the many tests that led up to these were all important, but here, we were trying to hit a target for the first time and we did it.

 The tax base provides community services, whether it be fire protection or snow removal or police support, and out here on a federal installation like Fort Riley, those services are provided so we don't need a tax base to generate any kind of income.

 The technology is there, it's just a matter of getting merchants and customers to use it. We've got 1.5 million people in this area that at any time hold our fare media, so we think that's the critical mass that's needed to jump-start its acceptance.

 The terrorists are smart because they will go where the security is the weakest. We have no greater fear then a terrorist who is inside the United States with a nuclear weapon ... [so] why isn't the President talking about securing nuclear materials?
