“We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining 10 millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket. And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not mine -- we are a World Power.”
Mark Twain

I also have a few of Clint's fishing boat, F/V Rachel, leaving the Port of New Zealand.”
Karen Edwards
“We?ll tell Islander East that the Long Island Sound is not the Wild West, ... The costs for the state of Connecticut couldn?t be higher.”
Gina McCarthy
“Charles Darwin noticed the result. He observed that in some island chains, there would be islands at one end with young volcanic cones, middle islands with cones in different stages of erosion, and at the other end, nothing left but coral reefs.”
Hubert Staudigel
“Geographically, Ireland is a medium-sized rural island that is slowly but steadily being consumed by sheep.”
