Woody: When I was in the seventh grade I did a report about the environment and the loss of species. It was supposed to be only a few pages, but ended up being nearly 50.

(edit) Woody: I do feel like there's a real need for all the environmentalists to get together. (edit) Woody: I do smoke, but I don't go through all this trouble just because I want to make my drug of choice legal. It's about personal freedom.

These people should not be treated as criminals. (edit)
