Quotes of note for your perusal: “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” Plato
"Perhaps it is this specter that most haunts working men and women: the planned obsolescence of people that is of a piece with the planned obsolescence of the things they make." Studs Terkel
"To complain to Nader supporters that they are hurting Gore is like blaming the Beatles for knocking Perry Como records off the charts." John Passacantando, Greenpeace USA
"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship." Ralph Nader
"The major public housing project in this country is building prison cells." Ralph Nader at the Madison Square Garden Rally
"Stay bored and government becomes more of an instrument of the rich and powerful against the rest of America. Get active with your fellow citizens and you might just see more government of, by and for the people." Ralph Nader in the New York Times, July 20, 1997
"Let's cut to the quick of the dilemma we are facing in this society, which is the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few and the growing disenfranchisement of the vast majority of the American people." Unknown
A warning from one of our founding fathers!
"We must crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to bid defiance to the laws of our country." Thomas
Jefferson, 1812
"..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.." Samuel Adams
"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe. Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed." Unknown, sometimes attributed to Abraham Lincoln
