I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.

'Simmons: Hey.
Grif: Yea.
Simmons: You ever wonder why we're here?
Grif: It's one of life's great mysters, isn't it. Are we the product of some... cosmic coincadince, ya know, watching everything, with some kind of plan for us. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.
Simmons: What? I meant why are we here - in this canyon.
Grif: Oh... ya...
Simmons: What's all that stuff about God?
Girf: Uhhh... nothing...
Simmons: You want to talk about it?
Grif: No.
Simmons: You sure?
Grif: Yes.
Simmons: Suriously thought, why are we out here? As far as I can tell, it's just a box canyon - no way in or out, the only reason we set up a red base here, is because they have a blue base over there, and the only reason they have a blue base over there is because we have a red base over here.
Grif: Mhmm. That's because we're fighting eachother.
Simmons: But... if we were to pull out today, they'd come over here and take our base: than they'd have two bases in the middle of a fucking box canyon. What would they fucking do?'
