“I’m out and about meeting people all day long. And I’m very friendly; I talk to just about everybody I meet.”

I don’t really consider myself to be a personal finance expert compared with some others. There are quite a few that know a lot more than I do.

Darwinism is still very much alive, utterly dominating biology. Despite the fact that no one has ever been able to prove the creation of a single distinct species by Darwinist means, Darwinism dominates the academy and the media.

My feeling is that Darwinism is only at best a partial solution, and an extremely dangerous partial solution.

The sad fact is that spending rises every year, no matter what people want or say they want.

I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.

I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.

And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.

People getting rich in a free society in general – with some scammy exceptions, which are rare – makes everyone else richer, too.

The American system is the most successful in the world because it harmonizes best with the aims and longings of human personality while allowing the best protection to other personalities.

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against.

I don’t believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades, got into the best schools, or made the most money.

I did some reading to prep for Expelled. I read one book cover to cover, From Darwin to Hitler , and that was a very interesting book – one of these rare books I wish had been even longer.

If there is no God, why bother to tell the truth? Why not steal?

Academic freedom is being lost by a great many people who dare to challenge Darwinism. That’s a terrifying situation. That’s contrary to the principles of science.

It’s amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions.

Politics is a thankless occupation; I have no interest in it at all.

In the last generation we’ve moved past a U.S.-Mexico relationship that while friendly on the surface, and demilitarized for the most part, really was not a genuinely cooperative relationship.

We have a combined population of half a billion people; peaceful trade-friendly borders that are the envy of the world.

Our label is very digital-friendly. We try to provide some free stuff to get interest in the band, but we have to pay our artists. They have to get paid.

Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.

Sometimes we read or hear too much news that makes us fearful or suspicious of others.

We can forget that most of the people that we know, or at least encounter regularly, are decent and friendly.

To create this new society, we must present outstretched and friendly hands, without hatred and rancor.

Surrogate experience and surrogate environments have become the American way of life.
