I like pacifists and people who have a heavy emotional identification with deathism and war would probably call me a pacifist, but I am a non-invasivist rather than a non-violentist.

It's not up to some moralist to tell them which techniques are permissible. — Robert Anton Wilson

Creating new jobs for Pennsylvanians continues to be my highest priority throughout the Commonwealth. — Ed Rendell
