It is not an arrogant government that chooses priorities it's an irresponsible government that fails to choose.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

I intend to fight and I want to win. But my priorities are basically to be a good Brother and a strong one and to try to be a good father one day.

In a time of tight budgets difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.

This president has said this has to be a priority for our nation protecting our food supply from terrorist acts so he continues to provide the funding that is necessary.

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it and believe me - it is fun then fitness programs will be much more successful.

As a father my first priority is to help my sons set and attain personal goals so they will develop self-confidence and individual strength. Engaging in regular fitness activities with my children helps me fulfill those responsibilities.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.
