The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.
From Adlai E. Stevenson
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.
The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal - that you can gather votes like box tops - is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.

I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.
Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.
