Gary L. Francione

Age, Sex, Human

Jose Saramago

Positive, Forget, American

Today, because of President Obama's courage, kids can stay on their parent's plan until they are 26. Insurers cannot kick you off your policy because you have hit your limit. They will not be able to deny you because you have a pre-existing condition.
Rahm Emanuel

Courage, Today, Cannot

You can't deny your limitations.
Mika

It doesn't work the same way everywhere. The Americans are the most gullible, because they don't like to deny co-workers' requests. People in the former Soviet bloc countries are less trusting, perhaps because of their previous experiences with their countries' secret services.
Kevin Mitnick

Work, Same, Secret

Life, Men, Justice
