“Our vulnerability [to ressentiment] is unavoidable (and probably incurable) in a kind of society in which relative equality of political and other rights and formally acknowledged social equality go hand in hand with enormous differences in genuine power, possessions and education; a society in which everyone "has the right" to consider himself equal to everybody else, while in fact being unequal to them.” KindFactsHandsPoliticalSocialDifferencesRightsEqualPossessionGenuineEnormousVulnerabilityRelativeHand In HandSocial Equality Author:Zygmunt Bauman
“I don't find any difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalists. I believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. If we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again. I need to say that because some liberals always defend Islam and blame fundamentalists for creating problems. But Islam itself oppresses women.

“If you dropped me off a space platform onto the ground where a line was drawn, I would fall to the left side of it. I believe the difference between right and left is that the right, for the most part, the bulk of their philosophy is interested in property, and the rights of people to own property and gain and acquire and keep property. And I think on the left - though they blend and mix - on the left primarily you will find people who are more concerned about humans, and the human condition, and what can be done.” PeopleIfsThinkingBelieveHumansDonePhilosophyFallLeftI BelieveSidesDifferencesLinesSpaceRightsConditionsGainsConcernedPropertyAcquireHuman ConditionPlatforms Author:George Carlin

“When human beings are regarded as moral beings, sex, instead of being enthroned upon the summit, administering upon rights and responsibilities, sinks into insignificance and nothingness. My doctrine then is, that whatever it is morally right for man to do, it is morally right for woman to do. Our duties originate, not from difference of sex, but from the diversity of our relations in life, the various gifts and talents committed to our care, and the different eras in which we live.” MenHumansDifferentCareSexDifferencesHuman BeingsResponsibilityMoralRightsTalentDutyMoralityDiversityRelationCommittedVariousDoctrineErasNothingnessSummitInsignificanceGifts And TalentsDifferent ErasRights And Responsibilities Author:Angelina Grimke

“So what's the difference between republican and democratic forms of government? John Adams captured the essence of the difference when he said, 'You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.'

Instead, government is a protector of rights.” HumansSaidGovernmentFormLawUniverseDifferencesRightsRepublicanEssenceConstitutionDemocraticCapturedForms Of GovernmentLegislatorsProtector Book:Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays Source: Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays
