Quote by Oliver Markus Malloy

“I grew up in Germany. Europe is far more liberal than America. Even most conservative right-wing parties over there are to the left of the US Democrats on many issues. For example, it wouldn't occur to even the most right-wing party in Europe to oppose universal healthcare. But this isn't a book about politics. It's about sex and drugs. You know, the good stuff.”

After looking at White mothers on welfare as “deserving” for decades, these Goldwater conservatives saw the growing number of Black mothers on welfare as “undeserving” - as dependent animal creatures.”

“Wollte er die Besserung der Zustände? Er wollte die Besserung der Menschen. Was war ihm jenes Ziel ohne diesen Weg dahin? Er wünschte jedem Menschen pro Tag zehn Hühner in den Topf, er wünschte jedem sein Wasserklosett mit Lautsprecher, er wünschte jedem sieben Automobile, für jeden Tag der Woche eines. Aber was war damit erreicht, wenn damit nichts anderes erreicht wurde? Wollte man ihm etwa weismachen, der Mensch würde gut, wenn es ihm gutging? Dann müssten ja die Beherrscher der Ölfelder und der Kohlegruben wahre Engel sein!”
