David Suzuki

Truth, Real, Global

David Suzuki

Control, Become, Place

Gene Roddenberry

God, Mistakes, Question

James Lovelock

Change, Enough, Point

Rachael Ray

Family, State, Whether

Gary L. Francione

Age, Sex, Human

Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions.

Mike Huckabee

Change, Future, Important
