“Our laws governing lobbying and campaign contributions have struck the right balance between the wishes of the people and those of private industry, so why are we so quick to doubt that the same great results can be achieved by putting the government's justice-dealing branch on the same market-based course?” PeopleGovernmentLawCoursesWishJusticeResultsDoubtIndustryBalanceCampaignsBranchesContributionGoverningLobbyingGreat ResultsCampaign Contributions Author:Thomas Frank
“However destructive may be the policies of the government and the methods and products of the corporations, the root of the problem is always found to be found in private life. We must learn to see that every problem that concerns us as conservationists always leads straight to the question of how we live. The world is being destroyed, no doubt about it, by the greed of the rich and powerful. It is also being destroyed by popular demand.” WorldMayProblemGovernmentFoundPowerfulRichDoubtPolicyProductsDemandConcernRootsMethodGreedDestroyedCorporationsNo DoubtDestructiveConsumerismPrivate LifeOverconsumption Book:Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays Source: Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays

“For in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law.

“The role of government has never been to plan every detail or dictate every outcome. At its best, government has simply knocked away barriers to opportunity and laid the foundation for a better future. Our people -- with all their drive and ingenuity -- always end up building the rest. And if we can do that again -- if we can continue building that foundation and making those hard decisions on behalf of the next generation -- I have no doubt that we will leave our children the America that we all hope for.” PeopleIfsChildrenEndsHardGovernmentAmericaNextOpportunityCan DoDecisionRolesDoubtPlansGenerationsBuildingOur ChildrenFoundationDetailsOutcomesNo DoubtBarriersBehalfNext GenerationIngenuityBetter FutureHard DecisionRole Of Government Author:Barack Obama
“The programme of the British Labour Party under Neil Kinnock is so wildly irresponsible, so separate and apart from the historic NATO strategy, that I think a Labour government that stood by its present policies - and I rather doubt that they would - would, if it didn't destroy the Alliance, at least diminish its effective ability to do the task for which it was created.” IfsThinkingGovernmentAbilityPartyDoubtPolicyTasksStrategyBritishLabourDiminishHistoricAlliancesIrresponsibleProgrammesNatoLabour Party Author:Richard Perle
