It's absurd we remain the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people and paid family and medical leave.

No one contends that the other Amendments that preserve rights of 'the people' -the First, Fourth, Ninth and Tenth-do not preserve individuals' rights. The same must be true of the Second.

A time will come when you will find that in gaining a brief joy you have lost your peace forever.

When things get tough... Make good art.
