Once again, stock markets have been threatened with extinction for almost 75 years, and I have found that stock markets are harder to kill than roaches Picture Quote #1

It is essential to release humanity from the false fixations of yesterday, which seem now to bind it to a rationale of action leading only to extinction Picture Quote #1

Wild fish are under threat of extinction because they’re hunted to feed us. Yet land animals that we farm are under no threat of extinction.

In the area of national security, I urge the swift passage of an anti-terrorism law that will protect rather than subvert, enhance rather than weaken, the rights and liberties that terrorism precisely threatens with extinction Picture Quote #1
