Land of the free...

"How can the country, that murders its own children and discriminates between them daily because of the color of their skins, a country that allows murderers of Negroes to go free, actually protects them and punishes the Negroes for demanding respect for their lawful rights as free human beings, claim to be a guardian of liberty?"

- Jon Lee Anderson; Che Guevara: A revolutionary life, pg. 617

Real fear

"I'm afraid of a world run by adults who were never spanked as kids and got trophies for just participating."

Golden rule

"In a system where money is considered speech, and corporations are people, this trend is inevitable. Elections become not a system of participatory engagement determining how the country is run, but the best democratic charade that money can buy. People get to vote; but only once money has decided whom they can vote for and what the agenda should be. The result is a plutocracy that operates according to the golden rule: that those who have gold make the rules."
