"The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either." - Benjamin Franklin

"In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness." - Carl Sagan

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. it is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous." - Carl Sagan

"Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us -- and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along." - Carl Sagan

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell

"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." - George Orwell

"The future belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm X

"The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced." - Frank Zappa

"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." - Frank Zappa

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death." - George Carlin

"If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted?" - George Carlin

"In the fight between you and the world, back the world." - Frank Zappa

"The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own" - Frank Zappa

"If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library." - Frank Zappa

"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not" - Frank Zappa

TV Shows: TEE VEE SUX! I hate lamestream media!

Favorite Music: I have eclectic musical tastes; I like Soul, Rock, Alternative, Underground Rap (none of that bling-bling, night-out-at-the-club, platinum-wheels-on-your-Hummer shit!), and trance/rave/house/DnB music. I also like Classical music.

Favorite Books: I read many books, but I really like anything by Dean R. Koontz and Robin Cook. I also like some older works from Stephen King (like The Tommyknockers, Cujo, Misery, and The Shining), Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael", The United States Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, & Bill of Rights.
