I have a lot of plants and fish and a pet lizard and Venus flytraps. I have a whole ecosystem in my room like a running waterfall and different lights and sensors set on digital timers.
Some people suggest that the problem is the separation of powers. If you had a parliamentary system the struggle for power would not result in such complex peace treaties that empower so many different people to pursue so many contradictory aims.
It has become impossible to give up the enterprise of disarmament without abandoning the whole great adventure of building up a collective peace system.
A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works.
Mother Nature comes up against reality and the reality is that the system doesn't work.
My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.
I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents you're kind of roughing it literally.
I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies.
I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence without any apologies.
Our systems are all go. At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost.
Big money is ruining the political system.
If we're going to spend a lot of money to deal with the problem of 200 million guns in the country owned by 65 million gun owners we ought to have a system which will work and catch criminals.
Our public school system is our country's biggest and most inefficient monopoly yet it keeps demanding more and more money.
I never viewed money as being 'my money' I always saw it as 'the money.' It's a resource. If it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.

There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you knowing when to accept their criticism knowing when to say no.
As long as you have a system that is based on the rational that if you are making money you are thereby making a contribution to society these financial rogue practices will continue.
The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money not about what benefits the people.
A system of capitalism presumes sound money not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings not credit creation by a central bank.
I don't spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review and she'll forward it to me. She's like my little Internet filter. It's always nice to see something going up if I want to find something on Nathan Fillion I do know where to look but I've got a nice little delivery system in my mom.
Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex when in fact men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.
Sometime they don't let you know that they know that they don't know everything but the core of the medical approach is that you try to identify pathologies which are subsystems within the human body or the larger system that are having undesirable consequences.
