They develop a reputation of determination and toughness that wins more decisive moments in life than winning shots. Bobby Blair was one tough player.

No one ever looked forward to playing him. It was going to be pain and suffering if you wanted to go the distance it took to beat him.”

“Under the constitution, there was never meant to be a federal police force. Even an FBI limited only to investigations was not accepted until this century. Yet today, fueled by the federal government's misdirected war on drugs, radical environmentalism, and the aggressive behavior of the nanny state, we have witnessed the massive buildup of a virtual army of armed regulators prowling the States where they have no legal authority. The sacrifice of individual responsibility and the concept of local government by the majority of American citizens has permitted the army of bureaucrats to thrive.”
