          The true horror is that life is constantly on a knife’s edge. Life requires enough energy for chemistry, but not so much energy that complex molecules wiggle apart or get blasted apart. Any drastic change results in death.

    Nearly every act of bigotry, oppression or domestic terrorism ever committed in the U.S. has been committed by conservatives.

    There is simply no place in a modern society for conservatives. They are a toxic plague long overdue for a cure.
