“Several generations of high school students have grown up ignoring and disbelieving everything they've heard from government and police about drugs, including information that was factual and valid, because they discovered for themselves that most of what has been taught to them was simply not true.” Has BeensGovernmentSchoolGenerationsHeardInformationStudentsTaughtDrugHigh SchoolPoliceIncludingFactualHigh School Students Author:Ann Shulgin
“Twenty-one years ago, when I first heard Mia Farrow had accused me of child molestation, I found the idea so ludicrous I didn't give it a second thought. We were involved in a terribly acrimonious breakup, with great enmity between us and a custody battle slowly gathering energy. The self-serving transparency of her malevolence seemed so obvious I didn't even hire a lawyer to defend myself. It was my show business attorney who told me she was bringing the accusation to the police and I would need a criminal lawyer.” NeedsGivingYearsFirstsChildrenIdeasSelfShowsFoundEnergyHeardInvolvedBattleYears AgoTwentiesPoliceObviousCriminalsLawyerBreakupServingGatheringShow BusinessAccusedTransparencyAttorneyTwenty OneAccusationEnmitySelf ServingSecond ThoughtsCustodyMiaCriminal LawMalevolenceMolestation Author:Woody Allen
“Under the pressure of fanaticism, and with the mob complacently applauding the show, democratic law tends more and more to be grounded upon the maxim that every citizen is, by nature, a traitor, a libertine, and a scoundrel. In order to dissuade him from his evil-doing the police power is extended until it surpasses anything ever heard of in the oriental monarchies of antiquity.” ShowsLawOrderEvilHeardCitizensPressurePoliceDemocraticGroundedMaximsMonarchyFanaticismTraitorAntiquityScoundrelsLibertinePolice Power Book:Notes On Democracy Source: Notes On Democracy
“I was under police security for 15 years because I was on their hit-list. I opposed Khalistan because I thought it would be suicide for the Sikh community to demand a separate state, and they heard me because they knew I was one of them.

Marley attempted twice to howl, both times in answer to a passing police siren, tossing back his head, forming his mouth into an O shape, and letting loose the most pathetic sound Ihave ever heard, more like gargling than answering the call of the wild.

“The other thing that troubled me: Dad was clutching his workbag. Usually when he does that, it means we're in danger. Like the time gunmen stormed into our hotel in Cairo. I heard shots coming from the lobby and ran downstairs to check on my dad. By the time I got there, he was just calmly zipping up his workbag while three unconscious gunmen hung by their feet from the chandelier, their robes falling over their heads so you could see their boxer shorts. Dad claimed not to have witnessed anything, and in the end the police blamed a freak chandelier malfunction.” MeanDoeEndsFallThreeHeardFeetDangerDadShotsPoliceMy DadChecksRanUnconsciousHotelFreakHungBoxersRobesShortsCairoMalfunctionChandeliersGunmen Author:Rick Riordan
“We're living in a funny world kid, a peculiar civilization. The police are playing crooks in it, and the crooks are doing police duty. The politicians are preachers, and the preachers are politicians. The tax collectors collect for themselves.
