Subtext...

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

- Dwight D. Eisenhower

Whipsnade…

It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts.
These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.

- George Washington Carver

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Think Pink!

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

- Charles Dickens

And I smell like them, too.

What a drag it is getting old...

- The Rolling Stones

Senators say the darndest things...

The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia…

- Senator Robert Byrd, West Virginia

or

I should rather die a thousand times and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen of the wilds.

- Senator Robert Byrd, West Virginia
