| Quote:Who can endure a doctrine which would allow only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were being well governed?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If God had wanted us to be concerned for the plight of the toads, he would have made them cute and furry.[Dave Barry] Quote:The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean,[Dave Barry] Quote:The Internet: Transforming Society and Shaping the Future Through Chat.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I assume you are on the Internet. If you are not, then pardon my French, but vous ehzeh un big loser. Today EVERYBODY is on the Internet, including the primitive Mud People of the Amazon rain forest. In the old days, when the Mud People needed food, they had to manually throw spears at wild boars; whereas today they simply get on the Internet, go to www.spear-a-boar.com and click their mouse a few times (the Mud People use actual mice). Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[Dave Barry] Quote:I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect.[George Carlin] Quote:We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority,let alone for the individual, to face that majority down.[William F. Buckley] Quote:In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.[Alexander Hamilton] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.[Daniel Webster] Quote:I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.[Daniel Webster] Quote:As far as I am concerned now, I have no enemies in the press whatsoever.[Richard Nixon] Quote:There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, and a third which imitates them.[Plato] Quote:We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.[Robert Wilensky] Quote:Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. [William Gibson] Quote:Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want. [David Frost] Quote:The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing. [Henry David Thoreau] Quote:It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. [Penn Jillette] Quote:When men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them. When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are to be called, will be the same.
