We need to be willing to stand up and speak up for what we believe.
It’s ridiculous that our solar system, not to mention the universe outside of that, is extraordinarily well organized, to the point where we can predict 70 years away when a comet is coming.
If I had a little kid in kindergarten somewhere, would feel much more comfortable if I knew on that campus there was a police officer or somebody who was trained with a weapon. I would feel more comfortable.
I hope we, the American people, can come to the understanding that we are not each other’s enemies. The enemies are those who are stoking the flames of division, trying to divide us into every category.
I grew up in Detroit. I grew up in an environment where you were supposed to be Democrat, where they told you that Republicans were evil people and that they were racist.
If you’re a Christian and you’re running for president and you want to make this into a theocracy, I’m not going to support you.
We need to reorient people in terms of what real success is all about.
I got involved with classical music when I was in high school and it’s followed me throughout my entire life and probably had a profound effect on my life.
There comes a time when people with values simply have to stand up. Think about Nazi, Germany. Most of those people did not believe in what Hitler was doing.
I don’t believe that expressing your opinion, regardless of who is there, is being rude. And it’s a shame that we’ve reached a level in our country where we think that you don’t have the right to put your opinion out there.
I see the insurance issue, the coverage of people for healthcare in our country as a huge moral issue. The richest country in the world to have 47 million people without health insurance is ridiculous.
I always say if God didn’t allow any bad things to happen we would already be in heaven, and we are not there.
I wouldn’t go to war over Ukraine.
We don’t know the end from the beginning the way that God does. So when a child dies, sure that is incredibly difficult, and when you are the parent, there is almost nothing anybody can say to you that makes any sense.
I never had money for anything. But I tell you what did really work – books. Between the covers of those books I could go anyplace, I could be anybody, I could do anything.
I like the idea of a proportional tax. That way you pay according to your ability.
Just because somebody happens to disagree with you about something doesn’t mean that they become your mortal enemy and that you should try to destroy them and destroy their life and destroy their family.
I just happen to believe that people are not stupid.
We have the purveyors of hatred who take every single incident between people of two races and try to make a race war out of it, and drive wedges into people. And this does not need to be done.
What I agree with is that we need a significantly changed taxation system. And the one that I’ve advocated is based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair guy.
