“One of the things I keep coming back to in my writing is that society doesn't work on this mirror principle - you don't have an exact replica on the left of what you have on the right. It just doesn't work that way.” WayWritingLeftPrinciplesMirrorsComing BackReplica Author:Thomas Frank
“We [on the left] have to be used to being a minority -- a small minority -- for some time to come. The odd thing is that the right, even when it is in power, likes to think of itself as an embattled minority against this elite that somehow runs everything. Whereas the left, even when it has no power at all, likes to imagine it somehow represents the majority of people. These are mirror-image delusions.” PeopleThinkingRunningUsedLeftImagineMirrorsMajorityLikesOddMinoritiesDelusionElitesOdd ThingsMirror Image Author:Barbara Ehrenreich
“During the 1970s and 1980s, the popular television soap opera As The World Turns portrayed sunrise during the opening credits and sunset during the closing credits... The soap-opera sunrise showed the sun moving toward the left as it rose rather than to the right. They obviously had gotten a piece of film showing a sunset and played it in reverse... Had they called their local astrophysicists, any one of us might have recommended that if they needed to save money, they could have shown the sunset in a mirror before they showed it running backward.” IfsWorldMightRunningFilmMovingTurnsCultureLeftSunPiecesTelevisionNeededMirrorsRoseCreditLocalsOpeningSunsetOperaReverseSunriseClosingSoapSaving MoneySoap OperasRunning Back Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
