“If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind,” Russell said. “I think anybody [who says that] is. I think it’s absolutely insane.”

"Yessir, the check is in the mail."
I remember Beccaria from my CJ classes. Also that other Cesare, Lombroso. Those men had a lot to do with the formation of criminology as a behavioral science.

Here we go again. Another Hollywood academic speaks out. I understand that fellow members of the Actor’s Guild consider him to be somewhat of a dangerous intellectual.
If only they hung huge signs off the World Trade Centers stating No Airplanes...
Albert Einstein never used windows vista.
Dude. One of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen. Except for the part where John Goodman pulls a gun on a fellow bowler.
