[Jim Choate]

in the womb forever.

                                               Frank Tipler

Though control, like birth control, is best undertaken as long as possible
before the fact.

                                              Richard Mitchell

When the people are being beaten by a stick, they are not much happier
when it is called "the People's Stick."

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand
into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species
will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of
intelligence.

                                              Freeman Dyson

Green technology means we do not live in cans but adapt our plants and our
animals and ourselves to live wild in the universe as we find it.

Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.

                                              Charles Peguy

One has to multiply thoughts to the point where there aren't enough
policemen to control them.

The corporation evolves to serve the interests of whoever controls it, at
the expense of whoever it does not.

                                              William Dugger

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men
who want rain without thunder and lightning.

                                              Frederick Douglass

Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain
in his present biological state any more than a tadpole is designed to
remain a tadpole.

                                              William Burroughs

If we desire to form individuals capable of inventive thought and of
helping the society of tomorrow to achieve  progress, then it is clear
that an education which is an active discovery of reality is superior.

Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify
the hunter.

                                              African Proverb
