Two quotes of the day

[elfs]

Bill Hicks once told a story about an American friend of his who complained about the USA. When told, "well, if you don't like it then move somewhere else" the friend's reply would be, "What? And become a victim of our foreign policy?" (via BoingBoing)

And from Lawrence Lessig comes this quote: "I'm going to spend time these next few days looking for the America in my heart. It may be a while before I see it anywhere else."
