Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Not everybody is ready to be friends, but how can you tell? I think we should sell Friend Touchers. These are a special perfect yellow stick, and everybody knows what it means. If you smile when someone lightly touches your arm with it, you're ready!

As I mentioned before I keep a file of favorite quotes. These days it's a Note in Outlook. Over the years that I've been here I've included a few from dwellars. I think this is all of them:

You know, when "later" gets here I'm going to be real busy.
-- xoxoxoBruce - The Cellar

Trust is a one-time-only offer.
-- Wolf - The Cellar

I was never actually the Devil's Advocate, but I did do some consulting work for a minor demon.
-- Wolf - The Cellar

Anything which *can* be done with a power tool *should* be done with a power tool. It is a moral imperative.

My wife found this as a book-on-tape (literally, cassette tape) at the thrift store and I'm listening to it on my god-awfully long commute.
