Froderik:
The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.

-Henry Miller

Ursus:
"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but [an American] political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either."

-- Edward Zehr

Froderik:
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.

--H.L. Mencken

Ursus:
Another Mencken quote:

"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth."

-- H. L. Mencken

Anonymous:
War is God's way of teaching Americans geography.
