“Christianity is most admirably adapted to the training of slaves, to the perpetuation of a slave society; in short, to the very conditions confronting us today. The rulers of the earth have realized long ago what potent poison inheres in the Christian religion. That is the reason they foster it; that is why they leave nothing undone to instill it into the blood of the people. They know only too well that the subtleness of the Christian teachings is a more powerful protection against rebellion and discontent than the club or the gun.” PeopleKnowsWellsLongReasonEarthChristianPowerfulChristianityBloodTeachingConditionsTrainingGunSlaveClubsProtectionPoisonRebellionRulersLong AgoDiscontentUndoneAdaptedConfrontingInstillChristian Teaching Author:Emma Goldman
“Why does a woman carry a gun? Because, under our system, every citizen has the latitude to act in the absence of police; the latitude to act reasonably, to act immediately, to act in defense of self, to act in defense of another, to act with lethal force, to act with her acquired training and to act not in anger but to respond in purpose. To exercise the protections of that latitude in public policy, public interest and practical safety, all that is demanded of her is that she act reasonably under the circumstances.” DoeSelfPurposeForceInterestPolicyCitizensCircumstancesExerciseTrainingGunPoliceSafetyProtectionDefenseAbsencePracticalsPublic PolicyPublic InterestLatitude Author:John Longenecker
“I did mega-training with ex-military men. I'd be in the gym for two hours after a 12-hour day on Spooks, and it was so hardcore I'd throw up.

“I've actually found that most of my jobs have been in sci-fi. I realized it because sci-fi has the biggest fan following. Every time I do a play in London all these sci-fi fans come out.
