States are looking for low-cost solutions that will enable better communication while avoiding the danger in which the chain of command breaks down in emergencies. We do not want everyone talking to everyone else all the time.

As everyone in Louisiana knows there was often no communication or coordination between the state and federal government in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into the state of belief while the latter is a calm and satisfactory state which we do not wish to avoid or to change to a belief in anything else.

I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great.

Such is the state of life that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing when we have made it the next wish is to change again.

A State without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.

The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.

Weep not that the world changes - did it keep a stable changeless state it were cause indeed to weep.

Discount air fares a car in every parking space and the interstate highway system have made every place accessible - and every place alike.

Al Gore the former vice-president of the United States lives in a mansion that uses more electricity than the average family's bungalow! David Suzuki rides on a bus that uses more fuel than a Smart car to get across Canada! Oh my God! And this is just the tip of the vanishing iceberg!

In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat the canal boat and the rail car.

The idea that maybe you don't have to own a car if you only need one occasionally may catch on just like time-sharing caught on in real estate.

To say that I am organized is an understatement but my car tells a different story.

When you put gas in your car you are making a political statement because you are supporting the empires that control and continue the destruction of some countries.

If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.

Our competition for American business is no longer in the next county or the next state it's around the world.

I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there near my family my kids also the real estate business I run with my wife.

If anybody ran a business like that they would be out of business quickly and Barack Obama's leadership is driving this business the United States of America toward a fiscal cliff.

I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.

After I left the White House I kept a foothold in the business of American politics as a talk-show host analyst commentator speechmaker and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner but I was still a partisan a Democrat a blue-stater through and through.

The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.

I don't want to get into the 'who's a hostage-taker' discussion here but what is the estate tax? It's a double tax on death. Economists will tell you that it's really not a tax that soaks the rich but it's a tax on capital that deprives business investment and therefore job creation.
