An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.

"Remembrances to Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette or Rosenberg Fund for Children. "A life of contradictions remembered in contradiction:
You choose: Donate either to a group dedicated to keeping children from ever being born or one dedicated to helping the ones that were not "choice" victims.

The Yippies were a political and cultural group which in 1968 advanced a pig as candidate for president Something the Democrats did in 1982.
