Notable quotes
"It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practices a vice with any such criminal intent. He practices his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others" .Lysander Spooner (January 19, 1808 – May 14, 1887)
Speaking of vices...
"All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening." - Alexander Woolcott (January 19, 1887 - January 23, 1943)
Song of the Day
Dolly Parton turns 70 today!
