Quotes of the day

"Years ago, there's no way we could do this. It brings to mind Big Brother, George Orwell, and '1984.'"
-- Keith Sadler, police chief


"No one has the right to know who goes in and out my front door. That's my business. That's not what America is about."
-- David Mowrer, a local laborer
