"The number of those who undergo the fatigue of judging for themselves is
very small indeed." -  Richard Brinsley Sheridan, The Critic

"Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking,
talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own
brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work." -  Adrienne Rich

"History can come in handy. If you were born yesterday, with no knowledge
of the past, you might easily accept whatever the government tells you.
But knowing a bit of history--while it would not absolutely prove the
government was lying in a given instance--might make you skeptical, lead
you to ask questions, make it more likely that you would find out the
truth." -  Howard Zinn

 "Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the
idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have
owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important
land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and
paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls,
they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media
companies so they control just about all of the news and the information
you get to hear. They got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for
everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a
population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well
informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not
interested in that. That doesn't help them." - George Carlin
