Quotes

  • Dictatorships do cut down on rape, and pillage, not to mention sexual harassment, by the simple expedient of sending people to labor camps for life or cutting off their hands without a trial.
  • The Chinese understand that slave labor, which they thrive on, is not productive or useful to the economy if it is only extracted by torture.
  • There is nothing wrong with aging except what it does to you physically and mentally.
  • There's a bit of a Mormon moment right now. Think me crazy, but I rather like the sound of a life in which men address each other as 'elder' and the womenfolk call each other 'sister' - or, when circumstances warrant, 'sister-wives'. There's a respect lost when complete strangers who obtain your credit card take to addressing you by your first name.
  • Most great literature and low entertainment have one thing in common: violent death.
