“Let's just be clear here. The vice president of the United States accidentally shoots a man, and he feels that it's appropriate for a ranch owner who witnessed this to tell the local Corpus Christi newspaper and not the White House press corps at large, or notify the public in a national way.” MenWayFeelsStatesHousePresidentWhiteUnitedUnited StatesClearPressesVicesNewspapersLocalsAppropriateOwnersWhite HouseVice PresidentCorpusNotify Author:David Gregory

“But the United States is neither a Christian nation nor the exclusive home of any particular religious group. Non-Christians are not guests. We are as much hosts as any Mayflower-descendant Protestant. It is our home as well as theirs. And in a home with so many owners, there can be no official sectarian prayer. That is what the First Amendment is all about, and the first act by the new administration was in defiance of our Constitution.” FirstsWellsStatesHomeChristianNationsReligiousPrayerUnitedUnited StatesGroupsAtheismParticularConstitutionPositive AtheismAdministrationOfficialsOwnersHostGuestsAmendmentsExclusiveFirst AmendmentDefianceProtestantsDescendantsChristian NationMayflower Author:Alan Dershowitz
“Prostitution thrives in the United States. We focus in this country on punishing the girls. For every brothel owner or pimp or male customer, there are 50 girls who are arrested for being prostitutes. Other countries have tried the other way around, and it works beautifully...they bring the charges against the brothel owners and the pimps and the male customers, and they do not prosecute the girls, who quite often are brought into that trade involuntarily. It works quite well, by the way.” WayWellsCountryStatesRealityGirlPoliticsCommunityJusticeUnitedClassHistoryUnited StatesFocusViolencePolicyEthicsTradeStrategyMalesHuman RightsCustomersIdeologyThriveOwnersOther CountriesProstitutionArrestedPimpBrothels Author:Jimmy Carter
“Intellectual respectability required mental health, and it was becoming evident to me by then that "mental health" consisted of trusting everyone about everything as much as possible - and, for good measure, poking fun at anyone who didn't. Especially to be trusted were the mass media, whose owners and personnel were not to be regarded as minions of the Establishment because, as they themselves used to attest with confidence, there was no Establishment in the United States of America. Only foreigners and paranoids believed (otherwise).” StatesAmericaUsedFunUnitedUnited StatesMediaBecomingMassIntellectualMental HealthOwnersEstablishmentTrustedUnited States Of AmericaEvidentForeignersMass MediaRespectabilityPersonnelMinionsPoking Fun Author:Kerry Thornley
