  1. A quotation from Shakespeare

    RICHARD: And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
       To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
       I am determinèd to prove a villain
       And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Richard III, Act 1, sc. 1, l. 28ff (1.1.28-31) (1592)

  2. A quotation NOT from Ben Franklin

    War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    (Spurious)

  3. It seems to me that the logical implication of the "good guy with a gun" idea would have been for the Lewiston mayor to put out a call for all citizens with guns to get out into the streets and look for the killer.

    If the "good guy with a gun" is going to stop the "bad guy with a gun," the good guy is going to have to get off his butt, take up his gun, and get to looking for the bad guy.

    Is that really what we want? Somehow I don't think it is.
