“As a comedian, I think we all look for those areas where the truth diverts from what people are saying. That's why politics is such a rich area for us, because politicians make promises, and they don't keep them, and when we point out the difference, we get the laugh.” PeopleThinkingLooksDifferencesLaughingRichPoliticianPromiseAreasComedian Author:Bill Maher
“Guilt is imposed by others on you. It is a strategy of the priests to exploit. It is a conspiracy between the priest and the politician to keep humanity in deep slavery forever. They create guilt in you, they create great fear of sin. They condemn you, they make you afraid, they poison your very roots with the idea of guilt. They destroy all possibilities of laughter, joy, celebration. Their condemnation is such that to laugh seems to be a sin, to be joyous means you are worldly.” MeanIdeasSeemsJoyHumanitySinLaughingForeverPossibilityPoliticianLaughterRootsSlaveryStrategyGuiltPoisonPriestsCelebrationConspiracyWorldlyExploitsJoyousCondemnation Author:Rajneesh

“I think that if you see that people are laughing, you know they haven't given up hope. You see that people are laughing because everyone has identified the collective hypocrisy of a law or of a politician who is crafting those laws. It's really nice to know that you can have a range of emotion on an issue. You can feel outrage, you can feel sadness, you can find humor, and all of those things are part of coping and dealing, and really, they give you an inspired way of moving forward as you fight.” PeopleThinkingGivingMovingFightingEmotionLaughingNiceSadnessPoliticianInspiredMoving ForwardHypocrisyCopingReally Nice Author:Lizz Winstead
