About Me:
- Theodore Adorno
The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.
-Lord Acton
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
Democracy can and must be about more than voting every four years on which gang of pirates you want to be robbed by.
- John Clarke
Republicans and Democrats are simply two adjoining cheeks of the same ass. They need each other.
- Bada Dehili
The world cannot get out of its current state of crisis with the same thinking that got it there in the first place.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.
- Albert Einstien
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty and democracy?
- Mahatma Gandhi
Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
- Hermann Goering (Nuremberg Trials)
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think.
- Adolph Hitler
What experience and history teach is this: that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles.
- George Hegel
And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.
- Jesus of Nazareth
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!
- Helen Keller
This way of settling differences is not just. This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
- Edward R. Murrow
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.
- Dorothy Parker
When war is declared, Truth is the first casualty.
- Arthur Ponsonby
When the power of love overcomes the love of power there will be peace
- Jimmy Hendrix
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
- George Santayana
O, it is excellent
To have a giants strength!
But it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.
- William Shakespeare
One of the most fashionable notions of our times is that social problems like poverty and oppression breed wars. Most wars, however, are started by well-fed people with time on their hands to dream up half-baked ideologies or grandiose ambitions, and to nurse real or imagined grievances.What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race.
- Thomas Sowell
The people who vote decide nothing. The people who count the vote decide everything.
- Josef Stalin
The most important thing schools teach children today is: You can be anything you want as long as it isnt different.
- Aisha Tyler
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
- Gloria Steinem
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. —Gandhi

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." - Dr. Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945.

Books:
Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it political?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But consciousness asks the question - Is it right?
And there comes a time when we must take a position that is neither safe, political or popular; we must take it BECAUSE it is right.
-Dr. Martian Luther King Jr.
