We live in a litigious society – everybody running off to court. It’s stupid. It’s up to the judge to make them feel stupid. I can do that.
-newly appointed Judge Ling in last night’s episode of Ally McBeal
(Judge Ling, played by Lucy Liu, immediately began to settle cases in seconds, and by the end of the episode had been offered a nationwide TV deal.)

Those fighting for free enterprise and free competition do not defend the interests of those rich today. They want a free hand left to unknown men who will be the entrepreneurs of tomorrow… June 8th, 2002 | Comments are closed
It is impossible to save souls by coercing bodies. There is no such thing as a forced conversion. Men can behave morally only when they have the option of behaving immorally. June 6th, 2002 | Comments are closed
So. Okay. Like right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all: “What about the strain on our resources?” But it’s like, when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right, I said R.S.V.P. because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that, like, did not R.S.V.P. So I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings, but by the end of the day it was like, the more the merrier. And so, if the government can just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you that it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. [Applause] Thank you very much. June 3rd, 2002 | Comments are closed
“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” – C. S. Lewis [Courtesy of St.Andrews Liberty Log ] June 2nd, 2002 | Comments are closed

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. May 31st, 2002 | Comments are closed
