Everybody now seems to be talking about democracy. I don't understand this. As I think of it, democracy isn't like a Sunday suit to be brought out and worn only for parades. It's the kind of a life a decent man leads, it's something to live for and to die for. ↗

We need to take command of the solar system to gain that wealth, and to escape the sea of paper our government is becoming, and for some decent chance of stopping a Dinosaur Killer asteroid. ↗

A business is good if it gives a decent day's reward for a decent day's work, treats people decently, and gives them a voice at the top. ↗

I want a society that provides decent jobs for those who can work and decent security for those can't. ↗
