They are cold-blooded. They are completely ruthless about protecting
what they have. The only thing they connect to is the money aspect of
life. Let's face it: That's the American way.
-- Jeffery M. Johnson, regional chairman of the District

They [District Attorneys] learn in District Attorney School that there
are two sure-fire ways to get a lot of favorable publicity:
(1) Go down and raid all the lockers in the local high school and confiscate
53 marijuana cigarettes and put them in a pile and hold a press
conference where you announce that they have a street value of $850
million. These raids never fail, because ALL high schools, including
brand-new, never-used ones, have at least 53 marijuana cigarettes in
the lockers. As far as anyone can tell, the locker factory puts them
there.
(2) Raid an "adult book store" and hold a press conference where you announce
you are charging the owner with 850 counts of being a piece of human
sleaze. This also never fails, because you always get a conviction.
A juror at a pornography trial is not about to state for the record
that he finds nothing obscene about a movie where actors engage in
sexual activities with live snakes and a fire extinguisher. He is
going to convict the bookstore owner, and vote for the death penalty
just to make sure nobody gets the wrong impression.
-- Dave Barry, "Pornography"

They don't know how the world is shaped. And so they give it a shape, and
try to make everything fit it. They separate the right from the left, the
man from the woman, the plant from the animal, the sun from the moon. They
only want to count to two.
