Battlefield

"You cannot choose your battlefield,
God does that for you;
But you can plant a standard
Where a standard never flew."
--Nathalia Crane,
"The Colors"

Joint

"If somebody smokes a joint, we're gonna go in and bust them? We're gonna raid houses in case somebody has a banned substance? Confiscate their houses? My God, if people don't see that as an abuse of force, of too much government, then we're just not communicating."
--Charles Koch
(1935-) American businessman and philanthropist

Queer

"You have some queer friends, Dorothy," she said.

"The queerness doesn't matter, so long as they're friends," was the answer.

--L. Frank Baum,
"The Road to Oz"
