He that is pushing ordsprog

He that is pushing his predecessors into the gulf of obscurity, cannot but sometimes suspect, that he must himself sink in like manner, and, as he stands upon the same precipice, be swept away with the same violence

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Certainly security is very important, so that people have the opportunity to express their will in a manner unfettered from violence or threat of violence.

Sooner or later, you have to stand up and get something done. They're always hearing about what their predecessors did, but I told them [before the game], this is your chance to do something your predecessors haven't done.

This does not bode well -- ha, ha, ha! -- for Bush's trade agenda. What a tragedy. You don't take out a very effective player like Portman, who has good relations in Congress and on the international scene, when this whole agenda stands on the precipice, without knowing what that means.

Pex Tufvesson is a genius, no doubt about it. To me it makes the timing of what he's done and the manner in which he's done it highly suspect.

Whether the police or a school want to search or seize a person, it has to be done in a manner that's reasonable. There was no reason to suspect any single person in that hallway, yet every single person in there was forced, with no choice, and seized by police in a completely unreasonable manner.

There's talk of an earthquake in the Gulf of California. This is pushing bonds up.

a walking one-man weapon of mass destruction that has done nothing in the last 10 years but flirt with violence, incite violence, carry out violence, justify violence and glorify violence, then you have to do what you have to do.
