They Said It:

“If impeachment is off the table, truth is off the table. If truth is off the table, then this [Congress] is living a lie” -- Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)

"The real political spectrum is not left to right. It's top to bottom" -- Jim Hightower

"The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it." -- Sitting Bull

“Americans are bred -- like stuffed geese -- to be consumers, not human beings” -- Lame Deer

“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.” -- Thomas Jefferson

“Some people think that if you are free to say what you like, you are living in a democracy. But freedom of speech is not the sum total of democracy, only one of its necessary conditions. A government is not a democracy when it leaves us free to say what we want but leaves others free to do what they want with our country, our resources, our taxes and our lives” -- Michael Parenti

"There are mothers and fathers who want to see their children live in a decent world and who, if spoken to, if inspired, if organized, could raise a cry that would be heard on the moon" -- Howard Zinn

"If the nation's responsible authorities are unable to administer the most powerful educational force in society -- TV -- who has this mandate?" -- Herbert I. Schiller

"Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness." -- Carl Sagan

"Human beings, using their own intelligence and cooperating liberally with one another, can build an enduring citadel of peace and beauty upon this earth" -- Corliss Lamont

“Human rights are often spoken of, but we must also speak of humanity's rights. Why should some people walk around barefoot so that others may travel in expensive cars? Why should some live only 35 years so that others may live 70? Why should some be miserably poor so that others may be exaggeratedly rich? I speak on behalf of the children in the world who do not even have a piece of bread. I speak on behalf of the sick who lack medicine. I speak on behalf of those who have been denied the right to life and human dignity. Some countries are on the sea; others are not. Some have energy resources; others do not. Some possess abundant land on which to produce food; others do not. Some are so glutted with machinery and factories that even the air cannot be breathed because of the poisoned atmosphere; while others have nothing more than their emaciated arms with which to earn their daily bread. In short, some countries possess abundant resources; others have nothing. What is their fate? To starve? To be eternally poor? Why then civilization? Why then the conscience of man? Why then the United Nations? Why then the world?” -- Fidel Castro Ruz
