- Grape Nuts
What I like about Grape Nuts is that there are no gimmicks. There's no cartoon bird prancing about on the box cover, there's no commercial with Barney and Fred getting in fist fights over a bowl of Grape Nuts; you get a box full of cereal and that's it. It's not even a big box filled with air and prizes; it's just a pound of wheat and barley with a picture on the front.

You might break the mold that has held us back since the beginning. We will describe the future as balanced anarchy and they will describe as an open society- tolerant of every view and aware that there is no single, privileged way of doing things. Above all, able to do away with the greatest tragedy of our era: The centuries-old waste of human talent that we couldn't, or wouldn't use. Utopia? Why? If as I've said all along, the universe is at any time what you say it is, then say.

Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That's why I did this, to protect you from yourselves! Now if you don't mind, I have a city to run.

Alik, before it's too late, tell your men to retreat. Don't do this; in any case, Alik, you and I will die. What's the point of all this? Who will win this? You and I will not survive, understand? If I see you in action, I won't show you mercy, just like you won't, understand? It's better if you come to me as a guest. Retreat your men. Have pity for their mothers, have pity for your guys, retreat them. Give the order to retreat.

When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender, this I could not do; I took my gun and vanished. I have changed my name so often, I've lost my wife and children but I have many friends, and some of them are with me.

I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days. As I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah calls "possession of my soul." There are times since, I've felt like a child, born of those two fathers. But be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again. To teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our.

I'll be everywhere - wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. If Casy knowed, why, I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an' - I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build - why, I'll be there.
