“Democritus says, "But we know nothing really; for truth lies deep down".”
“Democritus sometimes does away with what appears to the senses, and says that none of these appears according to truth but only according to opinion: the truth in real things is that there are atoms and void. 'By convention sweet', he says, 'by convention bitter, by convention hot, by convention cold, by convention colour: but in reality atoms and void.'”
“Democritus's work on the void was revolutionary.”

“Democrtitus, in the fifth century B.C. had declared that all the world was composed of only two elements: atomes and the void. This reduction of the myriad of forms to only two was the ultimate in dualistic reasoning. Christianity adopted dualism when it created the strict division between good and evil and heaven and hell.”
“Demographer Jean-Paul Sanderson, estimated the decline of the Congolese population during the reign of Leopold II and after, between 1885 and 1920 at several hundred thousand, and there were several reasons for this: diseases, malnutrition (including because men worked in the rubber harvest rather than farming), fewer births. Professor Anatole Romaniuk of the University of Alberta in Canada wrote a study on this, showing that almost half of the women in Congo in the second half of the 19th century suffered from Afro-Arab slavery and did not give birth to a single living child because of 'une stérilité massive pathologique d'origine vénérienne', i.e. because of massive infertility due to venereal disease. This factor trumped all other causes.”

“Demographically, I'm a hippie from San Francisco and I'm not culturally inclined to be sympathetic to states' rights. My cultural heritage is FDR and Medicare and federal government solutions. But if you think through the analysis, strengthening state rights is a good corrective of the aggregation of an over-reaching federal power.”
“Demographics and Revolt” by Yggdrasil
In most states, approximately 30% of all votes cast are by those above the age of 60, even though they comprise a much smaller percentage of the total population. The American Association of Retired Persons ("AARP") lobbies this group to write their Congressmen in favor of free immigration on the theory that new immigrants will pay Social Security taxes needed to fund Social Security payments to retirees in our "pay- as-you- go" unfunded Social Security System. An unspoken premise of free immigration is that the new arrivals will be willing to pay this tax.
Twenty years from now [2012-2030] 60 million post-WW II "baby-boomers" now in the work force will begin retiring and drawing Social Security benefits. Employment taxes amount to 15% of payroll now, including both employer and employee pieces. In twenty years, these taxes must rise to 25% to fund the retiring baby boomers.
Over 70% of these "baby-boom" retirees will be European- Americans. But in 20 years, 55% of the people entering the workforce between the ages of 20 and 30 will be people of color.
It is inconceivable that members of this group, accustomed as they are to racial preference and to block racial voting, will sit by and watch 25% of their earnings go to fund retirement benefits for European-Americans. It won't happen!
Because "minority" racial interests will be at stake, Social Security benefits will be cut for all except the indigent, among whom such "minorities" will be over-represented.”
“Demographics don't lie, economies don't lie. When the median age of your population is twenty-four-years-old and a quarter of the working population's unemployed - this is not a recipe for success.”
“Demographics is destiny.”
“Demographics need not be destiny. The waning West became what it is not by out-breeding the undeveloped world. We were once great not because of huge numbers, but due to human capital - people of superior ideas and abilities, capable of innovation, exploration, science, philosophy.”
“Demographics show that we are entering a battle between young and old. I call it the 'Age War.' The young want to hang onto their money to grow their families, businesses, and wealth. The old want the tax and investment dollars of the young to sustain their old age.”
“Demography is changing us as we are older societies, we're living longer. How the generations balance each other out, how that affects education and health care.”

“Demokracia je na hovno systém. Volič nič o ničom nevie, volič je hovno. Volič vníma iba absolútny povrch.”
“Demokracija dozvoljava da se glas ljudi čuje, a zadatak je intelektualaca da osiguraju da taj glas ima pečat ispravnog kursa. Propaganda je demokraciji isto što i nasilje totalitarizmu. Tehnike su izbrušene u visoku umjetnost, daleko iznad bilo čega o čemu je Orwell sanjao. Aparat zamišljene različitosti u mišljenju, koji inkorporira doktrine Državne religije i eliminira racionalnu kritičku diskusiju, jedna je od profinjenijih metoda, premda su i sirovije tehnike u uporabi, i također nas efektivno sprečavaju da vidimo ono što gledamo, da naučimo i razumijemo svijet u kojem živimo.”
“Demokrasi kısacası ayaktakımının rejimidir. Benim demokrasiye olan antipatim, kalifiye veya kalifiye olmayan herkesin lafının geçmesinden kaynaklanıyor. Genel olarak oy veren insanların belli bir gorgü ve bilgisinin olması gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Aksi takdirde nasıl seçim yapabilecek? Oyunu hangi kritere dayanarak verecek? İşte sonunda "Sen dinsizsin, ben dindarım. Onun için oyumu dindar kişiye veriyorum!" demeye geliyor iş. Oysa "Senin dinin nedir? diye sorsak onu bile anlatamayacak durumda birçoğu.”

For I was right, and you were wrong!”
