A critical mass is developing of people who are now aware of the problems that the existing Endangered Species Act imposes on landowners and communities and understands that it's counterproductive to recovering species.

I don't think it's going to have a huge impact on the third quarter. Going forward, if it (euro) stays here, the impact could be much more severe next quarter. It's that way with all the problems we're having with earnings.

We don't want to create future environmental problems by trying to solve this one.

Trade barriers do not address competitiveness problems. Barriers do not create incentives to restructure, consolidate, reform, and innovate. (Tariffs will) increase the likelihood of a prolonged economic recession through inflationary prices.

My clients are not conspiracy theorists. Our problem is just that you have to assure some sense of integrity in the system.

We're starting to get some really good swings up there, but we're also showing a lot of patience at the plate. Now that we're getting some real work in, things are starting to look up. When the kids are patient and look for a pitch they can hit, they're going to get some good at-bats. I don't think scoring should be a problem for us this year if we continue to show good discipline at the plate.

We had some fans claim that they can get a cheaper rate during the State Fair than during state basketball. (CHSAA) thought the problem had been taken care of; then I went to an outreach meeting with some of the small outlying schools and they asked about it again.

You take the population of vehicles in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of failure (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement (C).A times B times C equals X. This is what it will cost if we don't initiate a recall.If X is greater than the cost of a recall, we recall all the cars and no one gets hurt.If X is less than the cost of a recall, then we don't recall.

It is a yellow light that either it's competition, therefore pricing, or that market growth is not as robust as it had been.

These settlements are evidence of systemic, industry-wide problems that need to be addressed.

This is an ordinary tool as used throughout the country but always in adherence to the Constitution and always -- and this is so important -- always with the oversight of a federal judge who has to determine that ... probable cause exists in the first place,

He always told me that Lonnie was the best agent he ever dealt with. Lonnie worked out contracts for me when I was in Detroit, New Jersey and Orlando, and I never worried that we'd have problems with management afterwards.

I'm not a firm believer of "mo' money mo' problems" - I think that's stupid. I think it's that problems are already there that can be exacerbated by more things you don't understand.
