In "People" magazine, Madonna said her life has been exhausting since she started her world tour. She said there isn't a second of her life that isn't taken up looking after her family or thinking of her show - her day is filled with problems of work and family. Someone should tell her, everyone else calls that, "life." -Jay Leno
"Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things." -Russell Baker
"It is disturbing to note that it is in the democracies, founded on the premise of the inviolability of free will, that the principles of the manipulation of the mind may come to be generally accepted . . . The eventual democratic response to crime may well be what could be represented as the most human, or humane, or compassionate approach of all: to regard man's mad division, which renders him both gloriously creative and bestially destructive, as a genuine disease, to treat his schizophrenia with drugs or shocks or Skinnerian conditioning. Juvenile delinquents destroy the State's peace; mature delinquents threaten to destroy the human race. The principle is the same for both: burn out the disease." ~ Anthony Burgess
"Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business." --Tom Robbins
"Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side." -- Michael W. Smith

When any government . . . undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything--you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him. ~Robert A. Heinlein, If This Goes On...
Democracy, which is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike. ~Plato, The Republic. Book VIII. 558

Even in the presence of others he was completely alone. Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. -Oscar Wilde
We live in an age when pizza gets to your home before the police. Jeff Marder

Mankind are a herd of knaves and fools. It is necessary to join the crowd, or get out of their way, in order not to be trampled to death by them. - William Hazlitt
What luck for rulers that men do not think.- Adolf Hitler

"From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone." -- Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941), American author, columnist
"If we can ... get them to understand that saying 'no' to drugs is rebelling against their parents and the generations of the past, we'd make it an enormous success." -- John Van de Kamp
"When they took the 4th Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs. When they took the 6th Amendment, I was quiet because I am innocent. When they took the 2nd Amendment, I was quiet because I don't own a gun. Now they have taken the 1st Amendment, and I can only be quiet." -- Lyle Myhur

You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they supress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world. -Octave Mirbeau, The Torture Garden
Do not ask what your government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't. -Gerhard Kocher, "Vorsicht, Medizin!", Ott Editions, Thun/Switzerland, 1996

"Who are you anyways? You audience. You're on me every night like a pack of wolves because you can't stand facing what you are and what you've made. Yes, the world is a terrible place. Yes, cancer and garbage disposals will get you. Yes, a war is coming. Yes, the world is shot to hell and you're all goners. Everything's screwed up and you like it that way, don't you? You're fascinated by the gory details. You're mesmerized by your own fear. You revel in floods, car accidents, unstoppable diseases. You're happiest when others are in pain. That's where I come in isn't it? I'm here to lead you by the hands through the dark forest of your own hatred and anger and humiliation. I'm providing a public service. You're so scared. You're like a little child under the covers, you're afraid of the bogeyman, but you can't live without him. Your fear, your own lives have become your entertainment. Next month millions of people are going to be listening to this show, and you have nothing to talk about. Marvellous technology is at our disposal, but instead of reaching up to new heights, we going to see how far down we can go. How deep into the muck we can immerse ourselves. What do you want to talk about? Baseball scores, your pet, orgasms? You're pathetic. I despise each and every one of you. You've got nothing, absolutely nothing. No brains, no power, no future, no hope, no god. The only thing you believe in is me. What are you if you don't have me? I'm not afraid see. I come in here every night, I make my case, I make my point, I say what I believe in. I tell you what you are. I have to I have no choice. You frighten me. I come in here every night. I tear into you, I abuse you, I insult you. You just keep coming back for more. What's wrong with you? Why do you keep calling? I don't want to hear anymore. Stop talking. Go away!" --from Talk Radio
Many words and expressions which only a matter of decades ago were considered so distastefully explicit that, were they merely to be breathed in public, the perpetrator would be shunned, barred from polite society, and in extreme cases shot through the lungs, are now thought to be very healthy and proper, and their use in everyday speech and writing is evidence of a well-adjusted, relaxed and totally un****ed-up personality. -Douglas Adams Life, the Universe and Everything, 1982
An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind. -Walter Bagehot
Fear is the foundation of most governments. -John Adams Thoughts on Government, 1776
The fact that [someone is] an unattractive character with followers holding rather odd theology, does not mean that they have no civil, legal or constitutional rights. Calling such a group a "cult" should not deprive them of their rights. -Alex McColl, 1993 On the Branch Davidian ATF raid, in Soldier of Fortune
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power....Power is not a means; it is an end....not power over things, but over men....In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement....There will be no loyalty, except loyalty toward the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother....Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever. -George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1949
"We need a revolution in development thinking and practice. Foreign aid, debt relief, family planning, democracy, education, and free markets have not succeeded." ~William Easterly, a former senior advisor with the World Bank and author of the book: The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics.
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar
"The English-speaking countries, especially the United States and Britain, have a deeply cynical policy of double standards regarding the Islamic world of 1.3 billion people ... In spite of Osama Bin Laden’s violence, his primitive politics and his misogyny he is the most popular figure in this Islamic world, where he has little competition from the corpulent kings, generals, dictators and juntas, who obey orders from the west ... I was with Arabs in Iraq, Jordan and Palestine while they listened to Osama Bin Laden’s first video and saw the reaction: Their faces were wet with tears. He pierced their hearts with his message, which had three arrows: First: That America will never have peace until Palestine has peace and justice. Second: That America will never have peace as long as 6,000 Iraqi children die each month due to U.S. enforced UN sanctions. Third: America will never have peace as long as the west maintains tyrants and puppet rulers in the Islamic world. The Islamic world sees 6,000 Iraqi children die every month for ten years and sees that the west doesn’t care, but when 3,000 people die in the World Trade Centers the whole world shakes and is now on the brink of many wars ... this is part of a pervasive double-standard by which the blood of Americans is worth so much more than the blood of Iraqis or Afghanis." ~George Galloway, MP from Scotland, and Senior Vice Chairman Parliamentary Labour Party Foreign Affairs Committee, Britain.
CNN Chair Walter Isaacson - "It seems perverse to focus too much on the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan," said Isaacson, in a memo ordering his staff to accompany any images of Afghan civilian suffering with rhetoric that U.S. bombing is retaliation for the Taliban harboring terrorists. As if the American public may be too feeble-minded to remember Sept. 11, the CNN chief explained: "You want to make sure that when they see civilian suffering there, it's in the context of a terrorist attack that caused enormous suffering in the United States."
BEST EMBRACE OF TERRORIST MINDSET AWARD -- columnist Ann Coulter - This category had many candidates - pundits apparently trying to sound as fanatical as the terrorists they were denouncing - but it was won by Coulter, who wrote in September: "We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
"The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology. " ~Michael Parenti
"With unfailing consistancy, U.S. intervention has been on the side of the rich and powerful of various nations at the expense of the poor and needy. Rather than strengthening democracies, U.S. leaders have overthrown numerous democratically elected governments or other populist regimes in dozens of countries ... whenever these nations give evidence of putting the interests of their people ahead of the interests of multinational corporate interests. " ~Michael Parenti
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." ~John Kenneth Galbraith, economist and author
" [U.S. aid] has tended to flow disproportionately to Latin American governments which torture their citizens..." ~Lars Schoultz
“We have heard that a half million children have died," said "60 Minutes" reporter Lesley Stahl, speaking of US sanctions against Iraq. "I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And -- and you know, is the price worth it?" Her guest, in May 1996, U.N. Ambassador Madeleine Albright, responded: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price -- we think the price is worth it."

America...just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
A lady came up to me on the street and pointed to my suede jacket. "You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" she sneered. I replied in a psychotic tone, "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too." ~Jake Johanson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest; when they are sick, or aged. In the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience has been aroused; when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside. ~Robert Cringely/InfoWorld
“Of course, the essence of control is fear. The fnords produced a whole population walking around in a chronic low-grade emergency, tormented by ulcers, dizzy spells, nightmares, heart palpitations and all the other symptoms of too much adrenalin. All my left-wing arrogance and contempt for my countrymen melted, and I felt genuine pity. No wonder the poor bastards believe anything they’re told, walk through pollution and overcrowding without complaining, watch their sons hauled off to endless wars and butchered, never protest, never fight back, never show much happiness or eroticism or curiosity or normal human emotion, live with their perpetual tunnel vision, walk past a slum without seeing either the human misery it contains or the potential threat it poses to their security… then I got a hunch, and turned quickly to the advertisements. It was as I expected: no fnords. That was part of the gimmick, too: only in consumption, endless consumption, could they escape the amorphous threat of the invisible fnords.” ~The Illuminatus! Trilogy
Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed. He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. He’s making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world. ~Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby
