“With the frenzied pace in our own country, with the degenerating school system, with a crime rate that rises 30% a year, and with politicians that seem more interested in posturing than in governing, it has become more difficult, or should I say challenging, to achieve that inner symbiosis with life.” ShouldYearsCountrySeemsSchoolHumanityDifficultChallengesAchieveCrimeBuddhismPoliticianRatePaceShould IGoverningSchool SystemCrime RatesSymbiosis Author:Frederick Lenz
“EMILY's List has worked a lot with swing women voters over the years, and one thing we've learned is that they are very cynical about politics and politicians.

“When a social movement adopts the compromises of legislators, it has forgotten its role, which is to push and challenge the politicians, not fall in meekly behind them. We who protest...are not politicians. We are citizens. Whatever politicians may do, let them first feel the full force of citizens who speak for what is right, not for what is winnable, in a shamefully timorous Congress.” FeelsFirstsMayFallSpeakForceSocialChallengesBehindsRolesMovementCitizensPoliticianForgottenCongressCompromiseProtestLegislatorsSocial Movements Author:Howard Zinn

“We all accuse Vladimir Putin of Cold War nostalgia, but Washington's elites - politicians and intellectuals - miss the old days as well. They wish for the world in which the United States was utterly dominant over its friends, its foes were to be shunned entirely, and the challenges were stark, moral, and vital.

“The big challenge is a suit not worn with a tie. To me, it's a very odd look. David Cameron and many of our British politicians have adopted this look. I think it is challenging for men to look chic in casual clothing. Most people just want to wear T-shirts and baggy shorts and don't really care, whereas in the old days people used to really dress well in their leisure time. The suit has become a victim of that. day to dress in an appropriate way.” PeopleThinkingMenCareChallengesPoliticianVictimOddAdopted Author:Charles Finch
