“The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work' with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.” MenShouldReasonEnoughDreamSeemsGrowsResultsGrowing UpMysterySubjectsRevolutionMen And WomenMiracleBreadReason WhyDictatorshipDictatorCircusServitude Author:Aldous Huxley
“There are many reasons why the general public doesn't really understand our monetary system. In the first place, money is something that people tend to get emotional about. After all, money involves, and always has involved, something closely akin to faith-which probably explains why in many past societies the money system has been in the hands of a priesthood, the subject of magical rites, and the ceremonial services of the tribe's medicine man.” PeopleMenFirstsHas BeensReasonWisdomHandsPastPoliticsEconomySubjectsEmotionalInvolvedMedicineReason WhyLiberalismTribesMonetaryPriesthoodRiteGeneral PublicMonetary System Author:Wright Patman

“Religion should be subject to commonsense appraisal and rational review, as openly discussible as, say, politics, art and the weather. The First Amendment, we should recall, forbids Congress both from establishing laws designating a state religion and from abridging freedom of speech. There is no reason why we should shy away from speaking freely about religion, no reason why it should be thought impolite to debate it, especially when, as so often happens, religious folk bring it up on their own and try to impose it on others.” ShouldTryingFirstsArtStatesReasonHappensLawReligiousSubjectsSpeechCongressFolksDebateRationalWeatherReason WhyShyNo ReasonReviewsAmendmentsRecallsFreedom Of SpeechFirst AmendmentAppraisal Author:Jeffrey Tayler

“I think what draws me to young people is there is always this kind of openness that reacts very strongly to things. Sometimes when you get older, you react much less.

“If a subject has a delicate surface to it, you do not want to go charging in there. You need to establish some kind of presence and understanding. I will say, Try to forget I'm here. I won't ask you to pose, I won't ask you to do anything. It's important that I just be allowed to be around, to be present. Photographing people requires a willingness to be rejected. So, I think the best approach is to be honest and direct. Very often, I tell them, You don't know me. There's no reason why you should trust me... the only thing I can promise is that I'll try to do the most honest work I can.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsShouldTryingKindI CanImportantReasonAsksUnderstandingForgetSubjectsHonestPromiseApproachDirectSurfaceBeing HonestReason WhyNo ReasonWillingnessDelicateKnow MeRejectedTrust MeChargingHonest WorkYou Don't Know Me Author:William Albert Allard
“How could two teams of scientists come to such obviously contradictory conclusions on seemingly every point that matters in the debate over global warming? There are many reasons why scientists disagree, the subject, by the way, of an excellent book a couple years ago titled Wrong by David H. Freedman.
