“Poets are political, they have to be reflections of their times [because] they're living in their times... Poetry is political in that it's standing in opposition to fascism. Good poetry asks a bunch of questions and asks the audience to interact with themselves or see themselves in it; maybe you like it or you don't like it. But the fascist sort of stuff plays on your fears and tells you to jump on the party line and gives some simple excuses - blame this person.” GivingPersonsPlayPoliticalAsksStuffLinesSimplePartyAudiencePoetReflectionStandingBlameExcuseBunchOppositionPoetry IsFascismFascistsYou Like ItGood PoetryTime Poetry Author:John Cusack

In between is no place to be.” PeopleWayFeelsLongCareWishSimplePartyBrainHalfOpinionCuttingQuietVery GoodTongueShyLeaving MeIntrovertedHalf Way Author:Jack White
“If two parties, instead of being a bank and an individual, were an individual and an individual, they could not inflate the circulating medium by a loan transaction, for the simple reason that the lender could not lend what he didn't have, as banks can do. Only commercial banks and trust companies can lend money that they manufacture by lending it.” IfsTwoReasonIndividualCan DoSimplePartyCompanyMediumsLoanTransactionsLendingLendersCommercial Banks Author:Irving Fisher
“Werewolf is a simple game for a large group of people (seven or more.) It requires no equipment besides some bits of paper; you can play it just sitting in a circle. I’d call it a party game, except that it’s a game of accusations, lying, bluffing, second-guessing, assassination, and mob hysteria.” PeoplePlayLyingGamesBitsSimplePartyGroupsPaperSittingSevenCirclesEquipmentWerewolfAssassinationHysteriaAccusationGuessingLarge GroupsSecond Guessing Author:Andrew Plotkin
