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."

Tempurpedic

The biggest scam in the home furnishings history. The most expensive mattress made from the least expensive components (or at least the least expensive manufacturing process).

Cultural chauvinism

Americans wear blue jeans and sneakers;
Scottish guys wear kilts;
Muslim women wear burqas;
Indonesians wear white shirts;
Russians wear fur coats and hats;
Arab men wear long dresses;
Sikhs wear turbans;
Bantus wear almost nothing;
Indian women wear saris...

So, any time someone objects to what other cultures wear, he or she confesses about their own ignorance and intended dominance of their culture over the rest.
