There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery. - Keith Richards We had a few tragic accidents in our state, as they've had in every state, from train crashes on down. And really, no text is worth dying for; that is our message to young people. And this is such a new phenomenon when you look at the number of texts and how they've increased exponentially in just the last few years. - Amy Klobuchar Many liberals believe in G-d; many conservatives do.
