“Ever since I can remember I’ve had positive and negative fan reviews. And whether it was positive or negative it wasn’t always based in reality or what my perception of the music was. But judging from playing these new songs live and my feelings on the record [Scream] – and it’s a great record – there is definitely an audience for it. Also, I don’t really go to clubs so I don’t know what sounds are made there.” KnowsMadeI CanFeelingsRealityRememberSongSoundAudienceRecordsFansJudgingPerceptionNegativeClubsReviewsScreamNew Songs Author:Chris Cornell
“Law-abiding Americans deserve to know that their government will not secretly tap their phones, read their medical records, access their library accounts or otherwise invade their personal lives, with no oversight or accountability. Law-abiding Americans also deserve to know that when law enforcement can show an impartial judge clear evidence of criminal activity or a threat to national security, swift and decisive action will be taken to protect the public. That is the balance we must achieve.” KnowsShowsGovernmentActionLawTakenClearRecordsAchieveSecurityJudgingBalanceActivityProtectEvidenceDeserveAccountsThreatLibraryPhonesCriminalsAccessMedicalAccountabilityPersonal LifeNational SecurityLaw EnforcementEnforcementAbidingOversightDecisive ActionMedical Records Author:Ralph Neas

One can't do much more than sit and record if one is of my sex, devil take it; one can get the things recorded in the right way and that means, I hope, that unconsciously people will judge events as you think they ought to be judged.

“I entered a songwriting competition, I didn't win, and one of the judges on the panel was an A&R man at a record label that had no other acts and I signed to them. We sent my demo out to five people and David Kahne got back to me that day, and said I think you're amazing I want to start with you tomorrow. He was like my Harvard reach school, I couldn't believe it. I was really excited.

“The government can now delve into personal and private records of individuals even if they cannot be directly connected to a terrorist or foreign government. Bank records, e-mails, library records, even the track of discount cards at grocery stores can be obtained on individuals without establishing any connection to a terrorist before a judge. According to the Los Angeles Times, Al Qaeda uses sophisticated encryption devices freely available on the Internet that cannot be cracked. So the terrorists are safe from cyber-snooping, but we're not.” IfsUseGovernmentIndividualRecordsJudgingInternetSafeConnectionsLibraryTrackAvailableConnectedStoresTerroristCardsDevicesLos AngelesAlsMailSophisticatedGroceriesAl QaedaCrackedGrocery StoresDiscountsCyberEncryptionSnooping Author:Molly Ivins
“Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them. With reading comprehension being what it is in the U.

“Sometimes, when asked the what-do-you-do question, it occurs to me to say that I work for the government. I have a government job, essential to national security. I AM A CITIZEN. Like the Supreme Court judges, my job is for life, and the well-being of my country depends on me. It seems fair to think that I should be held accountable for my record in the same way I expect accountability from those who seek elected office. I would like to be able to say that I can stand on my record and am proud of it.” ThinkingWayShouldWellsI CanCountrySometimesSeemsGovernmentAbleJobsRecordsSecurityJudgingDependsProudCitizensEssentialsOfficeFairsCourtSupremeWell BeingAccountabilitySupreme CourtNational SecurityCourt JudgesGovernment Jobs Author:Robert Fulghum
