The people in Iraq lived essentially good lives. They had brilliant health and education systems. Saddam actually created an incredible infrastructure in a very difficult country but they were a Mafia family. If you said anything against that regime or that family you would be killed instantly.

Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs criminals and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy adding costs to our judicial healthcare and education systems.

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.

One of the critical issues that we have to confront is illegal immigration because this is a multi-headed Hydra that affects our economy our health care our health care our education systems our national security and also our local criminality.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

It's an incredible con job when you think about it to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.

Evolution is unobservable. It's based on blind faith in a few dry bones and on unreliable dating systems in which the gullible trust. Kids should be allowed to make up their own minds about this issue and not be censored to 'one side is all we will let you hear.'

As a rule software systems do not work well until they have been used and have failed repeatedly in real applications.
