"Home Star is a common sense idea that would create jobs and provide a boost to local economies, while helping families afford their energy bills.

“There comes a time when the bubble of ego is popped and you canâ€™t get the ground back for an extended period of time. Those times, when you absolutely cannot get it back together, are the most rich and powerful times in our lives.”
“You're either a rationalist, or you're not. And the good news is a recent poll found 20% of adults under 30 say they are rationalists, and have figured out that Santa Claus and Jesus are really the same guy. Now, 20% is hardly a majority.

“But this is a thing that I know--to live with fear is not to live at all. A man will die every moment he is afraid.”
