It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.
From Molly Ivins
I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious.
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.
You look at the large problems that we face - that would be overpopulation, water shortages, global warming and AIDS, I suppose - all of that needs international cooperation to be solved.
Good thing we've still got politics in Texas - finest form of free entertainment ever invented.
Many a time freedom has been rolled back - and always for the same sorry reason: fear.
Being slightly paranoid is like being slightly pregnant - it tends to get worse.
I believe in practicing prudence at least once every two or three years.
The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win.
Naturally, when it comes to voting, we in Texas are accustomed to discerning that fine hair's-breadth worth of difference that makes one hopeless dipstick slightly less awful than the other. But it does raise the question: Why bother?
