"I'm not an elitist. I'd like to think I'm better than that."

"False is the idea of unity that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one might drown in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction of liberty." --George Washington

"Those willing to give up a little liberty for a little security deserve neither security nor liberty." --Benjamin Franklin
