All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long- forgotten poem

We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.

In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upward mobile.

In San Francisco - life goes on. Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain. The sound of music floats down a dark street. A young girl looks out a window and wishes she were married. A drunk sleeps under a bridge. It is tomorrow.

Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism -- which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place.

It was like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.

Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long.
