"Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back?" "Empire". "Blasphemy!" "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets."
My favorite quote is by Steven Weinberg, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1979. This pretty much summarizes my opinion of organized religion: "I can hope that this long sad story, this progression of priests and ministers and rabbis and ulamas and imams and bonzes and bodhisattvas, will come to an end. I hope this is something to which science can contribute . . . it may be the most important contribution that we can make." "This is one of the great social functions of scienceÑto free people from superstition." "Science should be taught not in order to support religion and not in order to destroy religion. Science should be taught simply ignoring religion." "The whole history of the last thousands of years has been a history of religious persecutions and wars, pogroms, jihads, crusades. I find it all very regrettable." "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
I like this one by RFK: You live in the most privileged nation on earth. You are the most privileged citizens of that privileged nation; for you have been given the opportunity to study and learn, to take your place among the tiny minority of the world's educated men and women. ..You can use your enormous privilege and opportunity to seek purely private pleasure and gain. But history will judge you, and, as the years pass, you will ultimately judge yourself, on the extent to which you have used your gifts to enrich the lives of your fellow man. In your hands, not with presidents or leaders, is the future of your world and the fulfillment of the best qualities of your own spirit.

Late Night Political jokes (DO NOT read the quotes if you think they will offend or upset you): "A neighbor of President Bush in Crawford, Texas, fired his shotgun in the air twice because he was upset about all the protestors. ... President Bush was pretty shaken up because this was the closest he's ever been to actual combat." ~Jay Leno~ "As you know, President Bush is taking 5 weeks off. It's like he's still in the National Guard." ~Jay Leno~ "President Bush signed an energy bill in New Mexico last week. He had a simple clear message for all Americans -- he said the economy is moving, it's moving to China and Korea and Taiwan, but it's moving." ~Jay Leno~ "Earlier today President Bush signed a sweeping 1,000 page highway bill. Officials got the president to read all 1,000 pages by calling it 'Harry Potter and the Highway Bill.'" ~Conan O'Brien~
