“We are not a nation that says: 'don't ask, don't tell'. We are a nation that says: ‘out of many, we are one’. We are a nation that welcomes the service of every patriot. We are a nation that believes all men and women are created equal. It is my honor to sign this bill into law.”
Barack Obama

Albert Einstein
“The Americans are certainly hero-worshippers, and always take their heroes from the criminal classes.”
