“Recently, there's been a trend in America that I find very disturbing . . . rewarding immoral and illegal behavior. . . . For example, we now give free needles to junkies, which seems to me to be only a step away from giving condoms to rapists.”
Bill Maher
“This game sends the wrong message and is misleading the youth of America into thinking that this behavior is acceptable.”
Michael Palladino
“There are many false tales and theories about animal behavior. Most people, for example, think that when vultures are seen circling an area, they have located a meal. More often than not, they're actually riding thermals (rising air currents) to gain altitude and have a better vantage point for sniffing out carrion. When vultures locate a scent source, they don't waste time circling. They go straight to the food. This is but one example of humans misunderstanding nature.”
Frank Allen
“This is an example in which a new behavior spread through a population, ... We had the opportunity to see a tradition form and spread in exactly the way that cultures do in humans.”
Michael Noonan
“The bridge commission has become a prime example of unethical behavior and cronyism. The individuals we have put forth are all capable of serving as a watchdog to protect the interests of the people and ensure that taxpayer money is not wasted on patronage no-bid contracts.”
Gary Karr
“Two things in America are astonishing: the changeableness of most human behavior and the strange stability of certain principles. Men are constantly on the move, but the spirit of humanity seems almost unmoved.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
“We wouldn't interfere with infants or toddlers unless their behavior interfered with functioning, for example, if they were really aggressive. Most can do fine until ... they're around other children.”
