“It was precisely this notion of infinite series which in the sixth century BC led the Greek philosopher Zeno to conclude that since an arrow shot towards a target first had to cover half the distance, and then half the remainder, and then half the remainder after that, and so on ad infinitum, the result was, as I will now demonstrate, that though an arrow is always approaching its target, it never quite gets there, and Saint Sebastian died of fright.” FirstsResultsHalfCenturyShotsDiedInfiniteDistanceSeriesNotionSaintPhilosopherGreekTargetAdsNever QuitArrowsFrightGreek Philosopher Book:Jumpers Source: Jumpers

“The general election of 1983 has produced one important result that has passed virtually without comment in the media. It is that, for the first time since 1945, a political party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development by any standards and it deserves some analysis ... the 1983 Labour manifesto commanded the loyalty of millions of voters and a democratic socialist bridge-head in public understanding and support can be made.” PeopleFirstsMadeImportantPoliticalUnderstandingResultsPartyHalfMillionsSupportMediaPolicyDevelopmentStandardsDeserveFirst TimeElectionDemocraticEightLoyaltyBridgesAnalysisLabourRemarkableVotersCommentSocialistPolitical PartiesManifestosGeneral Elections Author:Tony Benn
“This is a living planet. Look around. Mars, Venus, Jupiter. Look beyond our solar system. Where else is there a place that works, that is just right for the likes of us?

“They talk about class warfare -- the fact of the matter is there has been class warfare for the last thirty years. It's a handful of billionaires taking on the entire middle-class and working-class of this country. And the result is you now have in America the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on Earth and the worst inequality in America since 1928.

Thanks to these superb efferts not one cargo hold, not one crate, not even one pallet of seaborne contraband even touched Saddam Hussein's shores.
