“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement. What we need to do is distinguish between race and behavior.” PeopleWantNeedsPersonsReasonLeftSexBlackLinesNumbersRaceRightsMovementChangedBehaviorArgumentCivil RightsPlentyAgendasHomosexualCivil Rights MovementBlack Person Author:Erwin W.

“I am a technophile, so there is no such thing as a first draft. The first draft plunges on, and about a quarter of the way through it I realise I'm doing things wrong, so I start rewriting it. What you call the first draft becomes rather like a caterpillar; it is progressing fairly slowly, but there is movement up and down its whole length, the whole story is being changed. I call this draft zero, telling myself how the story is supposed to go.” WayFirstsWholeStoriesProgressMovementChangedLengthZeroRealisingQuartersUp And DownPlungeRewritingCaterpillars Author:Terry Pratchett
“Historically the great movements for human liberation have always been movements to change institutions and not to preserve them intact. It follows from what has been said that there have been movements to bring about a changed distribution of power to do - and power to think and to express thought is a power to do- so that there would be a more balanced, a more equal, even, and equitable system of human liberties.” ThinkingHumansHas BeensSaidWisdomWould BePoliticsLibertyEconomyMovementChangedEqualInstitutionsLiberationPreservesLiberalismBalancedDistributionEquitableDistribution Of Power Book:The Later Works, 1925-1953 Source: The Later Works, 1925-1953

“Sir Oswald Mosley thought his job is not just keep Britain from going to war with his beloved Germany, he saw it as his job to organize a complementary fascist movement inside the U.K. So, he formed this organization as the British Union of Fascists in `32.

“In Cairo, these young men hanging around in the street, we're told these guys are lazy, they're uneducated, they don't care, they don't have any political instincts - just like the working class in America, apparently - and then suddenly what the hell happened?

“My idea of what was going on in politics was driven by activism. I came out when I was 17, and right away I started working in the AIDS activist movement. For me, politics was about getting drugs approved and getting prisoners access to the same kind of drugs that you could get on the outside. It was about getting needle exchanges approved. That was politics. These were policy problems that were killing people, and we were trying to get them changed.” PeopleTryingKindIdeasProblemPolicyMovementChangedDrugKillingDrivenActivismAidsAccessActivistPrisonerNeedlesApproved Author:Rachel Maddow
