“Reeves’ lack of care for his own money extends as far as giving $80 million of his Matrix salary away to the special-effects team and costume designers who worked on the trilogy, as he believes they are the ones who deserve all the credit.

“Here’s a message: stop talking about your rights and take up your responsibilities. Gun owners should be first in line to pass laws to require every gun owner to be fully responsible for the use or misuse of his or her firearm at all times. When you do that, I will respect you as a fellow citizen. Until then, you are simply a threat to my children.”

Or why the American population gets bigger and bigger, but our richest universities admit the same size classes every year, Or why in a country of 300 million people and countless universities, we can’t seem to elect a president or nominate a Supreme Court justice who doesn’t have a Harvard or Yale degree.”

“It is only the outcasts and the rebels who keep truth and intellectual inquiry alive. They alone name the crimes of the state. They alone give a voice to the victims of oppression. They alone ask the difficult questions. Most important, they expose the powerful, along with their liberal apologists, for what they are.”
