569. “Learning how to get in tune with your field of energy and understand how to create your energy, expand that energy, and move that energy through your body.

They very much want help with the challenges facing them and their families, and they feel like most politicians don't understand or want to lift a finger to help them out.”

633. “I understand why so many Americans are fed up with government. The 112th Congress was almost universally derided as the worst ever.

642. “When we see animals doing remarkable things, how do we know if we're simply seeing tricks or signs of real intelligence?
