Gabrielle Bernstein

Indeed, interstate commerce is one purpose of interstate highways and byways, and is one of the things the federal government is actually supposed to spend our tax dollars on. What conservatives are opposed to is needless and excessive spending, pork-barrel spending, deficit spending, spending to pick winners and losers among American individuals and corporations, and spending to promote the social and economic whims of the Washington few.

Barry Loudermilk

Addiction is a disease of exposure. Doctors and nurses, for instance, have a high addiction rate.

William S. Burroughs

John Warren Kindt
