We live in times of wonderful technology and crappy politics. The task before us now is not to let the latter destroy the former.

I'm tired of being lied to by government, by the media, and by every corporation I have anything to do with.

I have long argued that we need to reopen Alcatraz to house government criminals, and let tourists on excursion boats in San Francisco Bay pay to chum the water with meat with an expired sell-by date that would otherwise have to be discarded.

[E]lections amount to little more than choosing between the scum that floats to the top of the barrel and the dregs that settle to the bottom.

People in the mass media tend more and more every day to look and act like elected and appointed officials.

People - pardon me, journalists and politicians - have often accused me of believing that I'm above the law. And yet, who isn't? Everywhere you prod it, even with the shortest stick, the established system isn't simply corrupt, it's unequivocally putrescent. The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you.

We're most likely to lose our rights when we allow ourselves to be persuaded to deprive others of theirs.
