Quote of the day

"The greatest evil on planet Earth is when governments tell their people that they will be safe, free, and happy when they kill other human beings. It goes against our deepest human instinct and unleashes a perversity which wreaks havoc on all that is blessed."

Harry Holleywood

Quote of the day

"Jason in a casino is like my two-year-old in the bath. There's a lot of excitement, pleasure, and cooing, and you run a fifty-fifty chance that someone is going to pee on themselves. Still, there is nothing better than bath time or a rare trip to Atlantic City with Jason. Both are worth the risk."

Edward Ugel, Money For Nothing, p. 215

Quote of the day

"And there are not many myths with which we are as reluctant to trifle as the one involved here, the myth of The People. Not only do we not dare speak publically about The People's stupidity, we do not speak about the decision we have apparently taken as a society not to speak about the subject. Merely to raise the topic feels un-American."

Rick Shenkman, Just How Stupid Are We?, p. 142

Quote of the day

"And democracy, whatever its merits, is no guarantee against terrorism. The United States after all produced a Timothy McVeigh."

Rick Shenkman, Just How Stupid Are We?, p. 135

Quote of the day

"Death is the final destiny of all of us. We avoid this awareness, this realization, and fail to acknowledge it until later in our lives when it induces anxiety, if not terror. It is in facing up to our final destiny and accepting it that we come into our own and become free."

Harry Holleywood

Quote of the day

"No one thing can explain the foolishness that marks so much of American politics. But what is striking is how often the most obvious cause, - public ignorance- is blithely disregarded. Like the classic clue in many an Edgar Allen Poe mystery it remains hidden in plain sight."

Rick Shenkman, Just How Stupid Are We, p. 123

"God told me to tell people that He didn't tell President Bush to start the immoral and illegal war in Iraq, to approve of torturing His children, to ignore the suffering people in New Orleans, to spy on Americans, to imprison people indefinitely in Guantanamo, take away resources from the poor and given them to the rich, and to ignore and encourage the destruction of His creation, planet earth. God told me to tell you that Jesus warned us about false prophets, and God said He is saddened that human beings have not been more attentive and aware of His love for us.This is what God has told me to tell you."

Quote of the day

"That's not a lie, it's a terminological inexactitude."

Alexander Haig, Ronald Reagan's Secretary Of State

Quote of the day

"It is hard to imagine anybody wating things to develop as they have. Who would want a system in which the masses of voters would be left to determine the fate of the Republic on the basis of our television-based campaigns? Who would think to give the voters the kind of power they have now, knowing that their chief source of information about candidates is the television spot? Who, knowing how complicated the world is today, would want voters to dictate the specific policies our politicians should follow given their general inability to handle complexity?"
