The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. without access to true chaos, we'll never have true peace. unless everything can get worse, it won't get any better.

The laws of probability can catch up with you.

In 2004, the General Assembly enacted a number of new DUI laws, and at that time, we became one of the strictest states in the nation with respect to laws dealing with those who drive on our roadways after drinking.

In this day and age, it's hard to determine what's a low-probability event, given what we've seen over the past years. When you see all the issues that have occurred, such as war and natural disasters, the tsunami and all the rest—those were all low-probability, but they happened. I think our whole concept of recognizing what are low-probability and high-impact events has substantially changed. The universe of what can happen is much larger. We've had our minds opened.

I do not at this point know absolutely if it is true, but it may well be. If it is true, it is disgusting and contrary to our values and to our laws. I know that my military colleagues are taking it extremely seriously and there will be a very full and complete investigation.

We have a real stigma with mental health issues, with asking for help if we're getting depressed. That's true of the general population period, and it may be more true of someone who does farming.

I am a sacrifice to the True Guru, who has bestowed the True Name. Night and day, I praise the True One; I sing the Glorious Praises of the True One. True is the food, and true are the clothes, of those who chant the True Name of the True One.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

If that's true and the rate stays like that for another 40 years, there's a good probability that somebody who is active in the credit economy for that period of time might be a victim. But that's not a given.

I think a good case can be made today that some retailers may have taken advantage of the Katrina emergency. If that's true, that is something that needs to be investigated and, in all probability, prosecuted,

As attorney general I feel it is my duty to education our public officials about ethics and anti-corruption laws. I'm sending out an early warning that come Jan. 1, I will rabidly enforce our ethics and anti-corruption laws.
