“To its devotees the bowtie suggests iconoclasm of an Old World sort, a fusty adherence to a contrarian point of view. The bowtie hints at intellectualism, real or feigned, and sometimes suggests technical acumen, perhaps because it is so hard to tie. BowTies are worn by magicians, country doctors, lawyers and professors and by people hoping to look like the above. But perhaps most of all, wearing a bow tie is a way of broadcasting an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayLooksRealCountrySometimesHardViewsConcernDoctorsPoint Of ViewLawyerTiesProfessorsAggressiveBowsWornMagicianHintsIntellectualismOld WorldBroadcastingDevoteeAdherenceAcumenBow TieIconoclasm Author:Warren St. John

“When external and internal forces hostile to the development of socialism try to turn the development of a given socialist country in the direction of the restoration of the capitalist system, when a threat arises to the cause of socialism in that country ... this is no longer merely a problem for that country's people, but a common problem, the concern of all socialist countries.” PeopleTryingCountryProblemTurnsGivenForceCausesCommonDevelopmentConcernThreatAriseSocialismInternalsCapitalistSocialistHostileRestorationSocialist Countries Author:Leonid Brezhnev
“Complaints about the social irresponsibility of the intellectual typically concern the intellectual's tendency to marginalize herself, to move out from one community by interior identification of herself with some other community - for example, another country or historical period... It is not clear that those who thus marginalize themselves can be criticized for social irresponsibility. One cannot be irresponsible toward a community of which one does not think of oneself as a member. Otherwise runaway slaves and tunnelers under the Berlin Wall would be irresponsible.” ThinkingDoeCountryWould BeMovingSocialCommunityClearExampleWallPeriodsMembersIntellectualConcernHistoricalSlaveOneselfTendenciesComplaintsInteriorsIrresponsibleBerlinIdentificationRunawayIrresponsibilityBerlin Wall Author:Richard Rorty

“The question of crime is one of concern to everybody. But the position is that the security forces in our country for the last four decades did not concentrate on suppressing crime. Their main objective was to suppress, to crush political activity. And in the process, crime grew to unacceptable proportions. And criminals were able to form powerful syndicates, and they virtually took over the control of the life of the community in certain areas.” CountryAbleLastsFormPoliticalCertainForceProcessCommunityPowerfulFourSecurityCrimePositionGrewActivityAreasConcernDecadesCriminalsObjectivesOur CountryCrushProportionSuppressingSecurity ForcesSyndicate Author:Nelson Mandela
“The horn of dilemma of energy politics is what really drives concern about this energy in this country, at the gut level for most people, is high gas prices. And if you really want to fight global warming and try to reduce our carbon emissions, the cleanest, easiest, most rational way to do it would to make the price of gas even higher through very stiff gas prices.” PeopleIfsWayWantTryingCountryFightingEnergyLevelsHigherConcernRationalGlobal WarmingGutsGasCarbonHornsDilemmaEmissionsGas PricesCarbon Emissions Author:Rich Lowry
