We live in a stage of politics, where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.

Politics makes me sick.

Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you can't be misunderstood.

The day is not far distant when three Stars and Stripes at three equidistant points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal, and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally.

I would hope that the Government would still support those small, struggling independent theatre companies and also maybe look to the built architecture of the theaters because we can't let them get into disrepair. They are part of the fabric of the country.
