I have ever been opposed to banks, - opposed to internal improvements by the general government, - opposed to distribution of public lands among the states, - opposed to taking the power from the hands of the people, - opposed to special monopolies, - opposed to a protective tariff, - opposed to a latitudinal construction of the constitution, - opposed to slavery agitation and disunion. this is my democracy. point to a single act of my public career not in keeping with these principles.

Any profession should have norms around the issue you raise. and, in the words of the great economic thinker albert hirschman, we all owe a measure of loyalty to professional norms. but when the norms seem unhelpful or unproductive, one needs to speak up - to activate voice. and in the extreme, if the profession and one's colleagues seem estranged from a thoughtfully selected course of action, you need to consider the possibility of exit. of course, if you knowingly violate norms or laws, you need to be prepared to face the consequences - or to lead a revolution!

Like the vast majority of americans, i've opposed same-sex marriage, but i've also opposed unjust discrimination against anyone, for racial or religious reasons, or for sexual preference. americans are a tolerant, generous, and kind people. we all oppose bigotry and disparagement. but the debate over same-sex marriage is not a debate over tolerance. it is a debate about the purpose of the institution of marriage and it is a debate about activist judges who make up the law rather than interpret the law.

There's no doubt in my mind, though, that the iraqi people would be better off with a different leader who did not waste their oil on weapons, as opposed to education, as opposed to healthcare, as opposed to food, as opposed to roads, as opposed to clean water. it is really sinful, a crime, what saddam hussein has done with the wealth of the iraqi people over the last 30 years.

It is in the whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has meaning. problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. it is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. it is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn.

Biology designed the dance. terror timed it. dictated the rhythm with which their bodies answered each other. as though they already knew that for each tremor of pleasure they would pay with an equal measure of pain. as though they knew that how far they went would be measured against how far they would be taken.

This is the pain pacemaker. i've got a battery under my skin. from that battery are two electrodes that go into the spine where they cut bone away to accommodate it. now i put on the power here. if i have the pain, the stimulator starts. it's tingling, like when your foot falls asleep, you know?
