Zeal For Truth

A notable quote from Newt Gingrich this week:

This is … one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration. The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger. And therefore, the better they’ve done at making sure there isn’t an attack, the easier it is to say, ‘Well, there never was going to be an attack anyway.’ And it’s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.

Orson Scott Card makes the case against legalizing drugs.

Laws against drugs are like stoplights put up at dangerous intersections. They don’t go up until somebody has died. And then people get irritated because they have to stop at the light all the time “even when there’s no cross traffic.” Yeah, well, the light is there because we know what happens when there isn’t a stoplight.
