“I’m one of the latter, a live-and-let-live guy all the way. You do your thing; I’ll do mine. The twain don’t have to meet. Don’t get me wrong: if you’re about to step in front of a bus, I’ll stick out my am, but that’s about it. Otherwise, you’re pretty much flyin’ solo, as far as I’m concerned. As long as whatever you’ve got in mind involves other consenting adults, I say go for it. When it comes to kids, however, I get downright medieval. I fall right into line with penitentiary convicts, who consider it to be full-time open season on child molesters.”
G.M. Ford, Family Values
“I’ve always been of the opinion that if people could just bring themselves to say “I don’t know” when they don’t know, we’d all live longer and have to listen to a whole lot less bullshit. But that’s not how people are. People hate to say “I don’t know.” They’ll speculate, gesticulate, and just plain make up shit to avoid saying the words out loud.”
G.M. Ford, Family Values
“They could hang around all day and nobody paid them any mind because society has trained itself not to see the poor and the destitute. That way, we don’t have to think about how the richest society on earth allows so many of its citizens to live in the streets like stray dogs.”
G.M. Ford, Family Values
“Every form of refuge has its price.”
G.M. Ford, Family Values
