“Our schools offer no conception of the scientific process of discovery. They do not encourage creative thought, in fact, they stifle it through too much rigidity in teaching. If we set out to give as little help as possible to originality in science, we could hardly devise a better plan than our education system. Youngsters ought to be told what is unknown about ourselves and our universe as well as what is known.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesFactsHelpingSchoolUniverseProcessKnownCreativeToo MuchPlansTeachingIgnoranceOughtOffersDiscoveryConceptionOriginalityEducation SystemYoungstersRigidityCreative ThoughtLittle Help Author:William Lipscomb

“In America, you are not required to offer food to the hungry or shelter the homeless. There is no ordinance forcing you to visit the lonely, or comfort the infirmed. No where in the Constitution does it say you have to provide clothing to the poor. In fact, one of the nicest things about living here in America, is that you really don't have to do anything for anybody. But when you do, you give meaning and provide soul to the concept of community...and develop a sense of purpose to something greater than one's self.” GivingDoeSoulSelfFactsAmericaPurposeCommunityPoorGreaterComfortOffersConceptsLonelyConstitutionHungryClothingsShelterHomelessOrdinances Author:Pope Paul VI

“Libertarians are not the brightest lights in the candelabra, a fact that is evident from the alternatives they tend to offer to public prevention of private abuses. For example: if you don’t like working a hundred hours a week for twenty-five cents a day, then find another employer! It is obvious to intelligent people, if not libertarians, that more generous employers will price themselves out of a market whose standards are set by the most rapacious.” PeopleIfsFactsLightHoursFiveWeekExampleOffersStandardsHundredAbuseTwentiesIntelligentObviousLibertarianAlternativesGenerousCentsEvidentEmployersTwenty FivePrevention Author:Michael Lind
“I think a lot of people have unreasonable expectations because they never stop to consider what life actually has to offer them. They're always looking for some great epiphany from the skies.

“I know that when I look at today’s Mexicans and Central Americans, they seem to me fundamentally the same as my grandparents seeking a better life in America. On the other side, however, open immigration can’t coexist with a strong social safety net; if you’re going to assure health care and a decent income to everyone, you can’t make that offer global. So Democrats have mixed feelings about immigration; in fact, it’s an agonizing issue.” IfsKnowsLooksFactsFeelingsSeemsCareTodayAmericaStrongSocialSidesIssuesOffersSafetyDemocratSeekingImmigrationIncomeHealth CareDecentGrandparentBetter LifeCoexistSafety NetAgonizingMixed Feelings Author:Paul Krugman

“Although the formulations of science now offer the most advanced knowledge of nature, men continue to use obsolete forms of thought long discarded by scientific theory. In so far as these obsolete forms are superfluous for science, the fact that they persist violated the principle of the economy of thought, that characteristic trait of the bourgeois temper.” MenLongFactsUseFormPrinciplesEconomyTheoryOffersCharacteristicsTemperTraitsPersistBourgeoisObsoleteSuperfluousDiscardedScientific Theory Author:Max Horkheimer
