The past is malleable and flexible changing as our recollection interprets and re-explains what has happened.

The judicial system is the most expensive machine ever invented for finding out what happened and what to do about it.

The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

My father was a small-town banker. He became very ill when I was 10 years old and we went to California three years later in an attempt to recover his health which never happened.

Why do we have 47 million people without health care? Because America has become about 'me'. What's happened to 'we' as a people? I believe in that and that resonates to most people.

My goal is people associate November with COPD awareness month as much as they notice October with breast cancer and pink. That'd be a great thing if it happened. The fact that COPD kills more people than breast cancer and diabetes put together should raise some red flags.

What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles but most of them never happened.
