But I believe that sports betting should be brought out of the underground and into the sunlight where it can be appropriately monitored and regulated”

“You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway.

Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.”

So no matter what else a woman does, no matter what else her achievements, their value still depends on how they look.”

“Ben Skinner's brains and courage take us into the belly of the beast and expose the ugly truth of modern slavery. Instead of sensation, A Crime So Monstrous gives us desperately needed insight and analysis. This is an important book, the first deep look into America's confused relationship with human trafficking and slavery today. Skinner's balanced dissection of our government's haphazard policies will be controversial, but it can also be the foundation for a new anti-slavery agenda, one that ends the political games being played with the lives of slaves.”
