But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them.

Liberals state that many teenagers would rather sell crack for $100 an hour than to flip hamburgers for a minimum wage. Using the same liberal logic, you might think it would make more sense for the average middle-class worker to rob banks rather than work a forty-hour week?

You would rather pay $50 a month for a cable modem than a free voiceband modem because of the attractiveness of that broadband connection.

Henry Samueli

I'd much rather go for a long walk than spend an hour in the gym.

Dervla Kirwan

I wonder if, as the tech to deliver content continues to evolve, we will start seeing the one season / 6-8 hour show that ends at a peak moment rather than is cancelled because it sucks.

It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
