“The difference between fear and panic is knowing what to do. If you have a reliable, effective solution then fear is an asset. You know what to do and fear just makes you do it faster. On the other hand, if you don't know what to do - or don't trust what you know - then you will freeze in terror, because you have no clear goal or way to get there. Fear helps, panic hinders. Fear is your savior, panic your nemesis.” IfsKnowsWayHelpingHandsGoalDifferencesKnowingClearSolutionsTerrorFasterAssetsSaviorPanicFreezeDon't TrustHinderNemesisKnowing What To DoClear Goals Author:Marc MacYoung
“Look, America is no more a democracy than Russia is a Communist state. The governments of the U.S. and Russia are practically the same. There's only a difference of degree. We both have the same basic form of government: economic totalitarianism. In other words, the settlement to all questions, the solutions to all issues are determined not by what will make the people most healthy and happy in their bodies and their minds but by economics. Dollars or rubles.” PeopleMindLooksStatesBodyGovernmentAmericaFormDifferencesDemocracyIssuesEconomicHealthyDegreesSolutionsEconomicsDollarsDeterminedRussiaCommunistTotalitarianismForms Of GovernmentSettlementHealthy And Happy Book:Another Roadside Attraction Source: Another Roadside Attraction

“There is no military solution to the war in Iraq. Our troops can help suppress the violence, but they cannot solve its root causes. And all the troops in the world won't be able to force Shia, Sunni, and Kurd to sit down at a table, resolve their differences, and forge a lasting peace. In fact, adding more troops will only push this political settlement further and further into the future, as it tells the Iraqis that no matter how much of a mess they make, the American military will always be there to clean it up.” WorldWarMatterFactsHelpingAblePoliticalForceCausesDifferencesViolenceMilitarySolutionsRootsTablesCleanIraqSolveMessLastingResolveTroopsSettlementOur TroopsRoot CauseKurdsAmerican MilitaryShia Author:Barack Obama
“The smart people who are straight are involved in simply the media management of what has turned into a slow apocalypse, spreading starvation, exacerbated class differences, toxified agriculture, so forth and so on.

“[T]here is a vast difference in the attitude of a man with a gun in his hand and that of one without a gun in his hand.
