The money to fund great things and innovations and programs is gone in our lifetime; it's all gone to debt. So we won't be able to solve global warming or have the transportation that we needed for the 21st century. We should be supporting people with great ideas, but it's gone, and now it's gotta be paid back with interest to banks in China.Michael Moore

What's unique about the Mormon Church is that it encourages inquiry. I really do think my research and religion are all on the same page.
