1. I love Steve
I play him when some of my fundie friends are over, they get sucked in by his references to God then are forced to listen to what he is saying. My 6yo girls favorite song is that one with Emmylou on the latest cd.

5. In the Movie Matewan....
James Earle Jones asks the Chris Cooper why he didn't go off to fight in the Great War (WW1)

HE answered that why should he go all the way over there to shoot at a guy who was trying to make his way in the rich man's world....
