More From Donald Rumsfeld

Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. evil is simply the absence of god. it is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of god. god did not create evil. evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. evil is the result of what happens when man does not have god's love present in his heart. it's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. with some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. and it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.

Well, basically there are two sorts of opera," said nanny, who also had the true witch's ability to be confidently expert on the basis of no experience whatsoever. "there's your heavy opera, where basically people sing foreign and it goes like "oh oh oh, i am dyin', oh i am dyin', oh oh oh, that's what i'm doin'", and there's your light opera, where they sing in foreign and it basically goes "beer! beer! beer! beer! i like to drink lots of beer!", although sometimes they drink champagne instead. that's basically all of opera, reely.
