"Don't be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there's no poverty to be seen because the poverty's been hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don't be taken in when they paternally pat you on the shoulder and say that there's no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces." -- Jean Paul Marat, 18th Century French Visionary .

"No, honey," her father replied, "there is a whole series
of fairy tales that begin with, 'If elected I promise . . .' "

Why has Gary Hart said this thing?
3 years ago

"Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither liberty nor security."  -Benjamin Franklin, vegetarian, Founding Father of our country

"There are going to be trade offs of liberty for security." - Gary Hart.  What is he trying to say, where's the beef?  Now that we know they all commit adultery, and that's why he dropped out of the presidential race though leading it, because he was allegedly out boating with Donna Rice, why he can be excused.  I thought he was a liberal democrat not a fanged sociopath trying to destroy the free world.
