‐‐ Mitch Kapor

Startups need to focus on building a foundation for their company culture early, and then they need to revisit it often.

'State' can be a word that is a noun or a verb or an adverb - it's kind of why I chose that title.

‐‐ Todd Rundgren

State constitutions typically provide that the state first has to service its debt, then make it pension payments, and then pay for services.

State-sanctioned marriage is a civil contract, period. A contract is not a judgment of moral value. It is a legal agreement between two parties that testifies to a meeting of minds between those consenting entities.
