“The United Nations should come in and take over Liberia, not temporarily, but for life. To make Liberians believe in democracy, to make us believe in human rights, they need to go in and just seize control of the country. That is the only way Liberia will ever become the kind of country it was supposed to be.” WayNeedsShouldBelieveHumansKindCountryNationsUnitedDemocracyRightsHuman RightsSupposed To BeUnited Nations Author:George Weah
“In democratic countries, however opulent a man is supposed to be, he is almost always discontented with his fortune, because he finds that he is less rich than his father was, and he fears that his sons will be less rich than himself.” MenCountryFatherRichSonFortuneDemocraticSupposed To BeDemocratic Country Book:Democracy in America: The Complete and Unabridged Volumes I and II Source: Democracy in America: The Complete and Unabridged Volumes I and II
“Imagine that -- a country that's supposed to be a democracy, supposed to be for freedom and all of that kind of stuff when they want to draft you and put you in the army and send you to Saigon to fight for them -- and then you've got to turn around and all night long discuss how you're going to just get a right to register and vote without being murdered. Why, that's the most hypocritical government since the world began!” WorldWantKindLongCountryGovernmentNightTurnsFightingStuffDemocracyImagineVoteArmySupposed To BeImagine ThatAll NightRegisterHypocriticalSaigon Author:Malcolm X
“Financial markets are supposed to swing like a pendulum: They may fluctuate wildly in response to exogenous shocks, but eventually they are supposed to come to rest at an equilibrium point and that point is supposed to be the same irrespective of the interim fluctuations. Instead, as I told Congress, financial markets behaved more like a wrecking ball, swinging from country to country and knocking over the weaker ones. It is difficult to escape the conclusion that the international financial system itself constituted the main ingredient in the meltdown process.” MayCountryProcessDifficultBallsResponseFinancialInternationalCongressConclusionSupposed To BeShockIngredientsSwingsKnockingEquilibriumFinancial MarketsPendulumsFluctuationFinancial SystemMeltdownsInterim Author:George Soros
