“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
“There have been many definitions of hell, but for the English the best definition is that it is the place where the Germans are the police, the Swedish are the comedians, the Italians are the defense force, Frenchmen dig the roads, the Belgians are the pop singers, the Spanish run the railways, the Turks cook the food, the Irish are the waiters, the Greeks run the government, and the common language is Dutch.” Has BeensGovernmentRunningLanguageForceCommonHellPoliceDefinitionsPopsDefenseSingersCooksComedianGreekSarcasticDutchWaiterRailwaySwedishFrenchmenCommon LanguageBelgians Author:David Frost

“The prison-industrial complex employs millions of people directly and indirectly.

“"Don't you want to abolish state power?" Yes, we do, but not right now. We cannot do it yet. Why? Because imperialism still exists, because domestic reaction still exists, because classes still exist in our country.

“Gun laws are an attempt to nationalize the right of self-defense. Politicians perennially react to the police's abject failure to prevent crime by trying to disarm law-abiding citizens.
