"I think it's a desire to sort of say ... 'We won't have to worry about the future, because there is no future.'  And so therefore, we can do what we want now, and all the debts are put off, and all the responsibilities are avoided."

-Wheeler Winston Dixon

Let me get this straight.

We're going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn't read it, and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

What could possibly go wrong?

"If people don't think we were able to go to the moon, then they don't believe in the ingenuity of human achievement. Going to the moon and returning astronauts safely back to Earth is arguably one of the most profound achievements in human history, and so when people simply believe it was a hoax, they lose out on that shared experience, and doubt what humans can do."

-Stuart Robbins
