George Carlin
- "" I did have a test today. That wasn't bull. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European; I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialist? They could be fascist anarchists - that still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for that matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism - he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: "I don't believe in Beatles - I just believe in me". A good point there. Of course, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus - I'd still have to bum rides off of people."
Ferris Bueller
- "Work like you don’t need money. Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like no one is watching."
Satchel Paige
- "A man who fails to dare greatly, greatly fails"
John F. Kennedy
- "Let's face it, protestors are like pop music. They protest whatever is the flavor of the month. How many protests do you hear about Tibet nowadays? Not cool anymore? China? Nothing's gonna change so why protest. The atrocities in North Korea? Ah not publicized enough. Women's rights in the Middle East? The gender revolution is over. How many people protested when the world came the closest it's been to nuclear war since the cold war? Anybody remember that whole spat when India & Pakistan almost went to war? Too stupid to realize how significant that was. Nobody protests a dictatorship anymore because their lazy ... they know nothings going to happen. Ahhh but a democracy ... there's where the action is. What's the flavor of the month for the 21st century? Big government. G8 summits, WTO meetings, globalization. Gimme a break, like there aren't actually people suffering that they can't protest about??? What about Africa? If people's protest's reflected world conditions, 99.9% of all protests would revolve around civil wars, poverty, starvation & the Aids crisis in Africa. But eh who really cares about a few million Africans anymore? C’mon that was an 80's thing." Unknown

The dirty secret of the American economy for more than a decade now is that it is largely based on the continued creation of suburban sprawl and all its accessories and furnishings. And if you remove that from our economy there isn't a whole lot left besides hair cutting, Colonel Sanders' chicken, and open-heart surgery...
Americans are suffering so much from being in unrewarding environments that it has made us very cynical. I think that American suburbia has become a powerful generator of anxiety and depression. If we happen to let it go, we won't miss it that much. Very few people are going to feel nostalgic about the parking lot between the Chuck E. Cheeses and the Kmart.
