Quotes

• “Could you look at animal in the eyes and say to it "my appetite is more important than your suffering"? I hope not.”
• “a long time ago only kings had rights. then rights were extended to property-owning white men. then all men. then wymyn [sic]. then children. then the mentally retarded. now we're agonizing over the extension of basic rights to homosexuals and animals. we need to finally accept that all sentient creatures are deserving of basic rights.”
• “Better a loving single parent family than a 'conventional' family wherein the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue.”
• “Ozzy Osbourne used to snort ants. Led Zeppelin had sex with hookers on private planes. And I start an on-tour book club. Because one can only snort so many ants and have so much sex before one starts to long for the comfort and companionship of a good book.”
• “Why can't a Democrat get fired up about protecting the environment and enacting gun control legislation just as right wing republicans get fired up about making sure that children have access to assault weapons and banning 'The catcher in the rye' and 'Harry Potter'?”
• “It will be interesting to see what the long term fruits of our national apathy will be, 'cos so far they've been pretty foul.”
