"The
current moguls understand that true media power lies not in firing up
our outrage, as Hearst did, but in befuddling it or tranquilizing it
with new toys. The idea is to render us passive so that they can
exercise their power to sell us a bunch of stuff we mostly don't need
and mostly don't want." : Richard Schickel - Brill's Content, July/August 2000, p. 122
"It'll be a great day when education gets all the money it wants and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy bombers.": Author unknown, quoted in You Said a Mouthful edited by Ronald D. Fuchs
"War
seems to me to be a mean, contemptible thing: I would rather be hacked
in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. And yet so
high, in spite of everything, is my opinion of the human race that I
believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense
of the nations not been systematically corrupted by commercial and
political interests acting through the schools and the Press": Albert Einstein
"A
common and natural result of an undue respect for law is that you may
see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates,
powder-monkeys, and all marching in admirable order over hill and dale
to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and
consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a
palpitation of the heart. They have no doubt that it is a damnable
business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined.
Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines,
at the service of some unscrupulous man in power?": Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
