In my opinion, having shoplifting clothes as the Olympic uniform for snow boarding is stupid.

In my opinion, 90% of the problems the government claims to be fixing are problems the government has created.

It's my opinion, why should I just give it to you? Let's talk speaking fees, shall we?

In my opinion, the more any nation embraces any form of Marxism, the further they find themselves from true freedom.

In my opinion, only unrestricted, unregulated, unhampered, free market capitalism can lead to lasting freedom, prosperity, and opportunity for everyone including the poor.
