“Television is a powerful medium that has to be used for something better than sitcoms and police shows. On the other hand, if you don't recognize the forces that play on what people watch and what they don't then you're a fool and you should be in a different business.” PeopleIfsShouldDifferentPlayShowsHandsUsedForcePowerfulWatchesTelevisionFoolPoliceMediumsSomething BetterSitcom Author:Roone Arledge
“Living on the street as a kid changed the way I looked at everything. It was a different time and while it had its dangers, it was nothing like it would be today. It was the Summer of Love and there was a real sense of community among us. We were hippies who looked out for each other instead of trying to rip each other off. We only had to watch out for the police who liked to roust us just on general principles, and the kids who came in from the suburbs to do a little hippie-bashing.” WayTryingLittlesDifferentRealWould BeKidsTodayCommunityPrinciplesWatchesStreetsDangerChangedSummerPoliceRipHippieLiving OnSuburbsDifferent Times Author:Charles de Lint

“But most of all, I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they are going. Sometimes I even go to Fun parks and ride in the jet cars when they race on the edge of town at midnight and the police don't care as long as they're insured. As long as everyone has ten thousand insurance everyone's happy. Sometimes I sneak around and listen in subways. Or I listen at soda fountains, and do you know what? People don't talk about anything.” PeopleKnowsWantLooksLongSometimesCareFunRaceWatchesCarFiguresThousandTenTownsPoliceEdgesDon't CareParksDo You KnowMidnightFountainJetSubwaySneakSoda Author:Ray Bradbury
“Jesus was not killed by atheism and anarchy. He was brought down by law and order allied with religion, which is always a deadly mix. Beware those who claim to know the mind of God and who are prepared to use force, if necessary, to make others conform. Beware those who cannot tell God's will from their own. Temple police are always a bad sign. When chaplains start wearing guns and hanging out at the sheriff's office, watch out.
