All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.

Jesse Ventura Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens. Jesse Ventura Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way. Jesse Ventura I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives.

Jesse Ventura I asked Dalai Lama the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddyshack. Jesse Ventura I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves.

But I think it would be a mistake to make them illegal again. Jesse Ventura I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent. Jesse Ventura I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector. Jesse Ventura I speak my mind. If it offends some people, well, there's not much I can do about that. But I'm going to be honest. I'm going to continue to speak my mind, and that's who I am. Jesse Ventura I'm against the draft. I believe we should have a professional military; it might be smaller, but it would be more effective. Jesse Ventura If I could be reincarnated as a fabric, I would come back as a 38 double-D bra. Jesse Ventura If I wanna be president, I probably can. Jesse Ventura If you were to come to Minnesota, I could have you locked up like that. That's power. Jesse Ventura Industrial hemp is a very useful plant. I challenged the attorney general to get rid of the criminal stigma associated with hemp so we can look at it in terms of how it might be useful.

After I explained to them that if the state pays their tuition now, they will pay higher taxes to pay other people's tuition for the rest of their lives, most of them ended up agreeing with me. Jesse Ventura The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity. Jesse Ventura There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government. Jesse Ventura There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag. Jesse Ventura There's no question that we need tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. We need to take a lesson from European countries where driving isn't a right but a privilege. Jesse Ventura We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it's not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We're not free - if we were, we'd allow people their freedom. Jesse Ventura When the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms, it also made us responsible for using them properly. It's not fair of us as citizens to lean more heavily on one side of that equation than on the other. Jesse Ventura Wrestling is ballet with violence. Jesse Ventura You can't legislate morality.
