All theory is grey, And green is the golden tree of life.

Civilization and profits go hand in hand.

Calvin Coolidge

I think that all good, right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired.
