The extent of my political involvement is that I’m a registered voter – Republican.

To some extent I liken slavery to death.

I don’t think just scaring people is enough. That worked during the freeze days to a major extent, but we really didn’t achieve that much even at that time. You have to have more, you have to give people hope and a vision of a better world.

The extent to which not just state legislatures but the Congress of the United States are now run by large corporate special interests is beyond mere recognition as fact. The takeover is complete.
People are happiest when they’re the most productive. People enjoy tasks, especially creative tasks, when the tasks are in the optimal-challenge zone: not too hard and not too easy.

We must admit that history is enjoyable to a large extent because it enables us to pass judgement on the past.

A society is only as great as the values that it enshrines as part of its ethos. A society is only as great as the extent to which it is willing to defend its identity.
