It [the internet] probably has the effect of weakening personal associations.

On intervention under the UN framework, I think that sometimes that's legitimate, in fact even helpful.

I think that sooner or later the white working-class constituency will recognize, and in fact, much of the rural population will come to recognize, that the Trump's promises are built on sand. There is nothing there.

The Democrats have pretty much given up on the white working class. That would require a commitment to economic issues and that's not their concern.

I don't see much use in general slogans. Sometimes it is worth resisting evil with lesser evil, very commonly in fact.

As a health scientist at Columbia University, Les Roberts, pointed out, sooner or later people are going to be looking at a child in a wheelchair suffering from polio and will say 'the Americans did that to him'. So they continue policies which have similar effects i.e. organising the Taliban. This will come back to them too.

In general I don't think the image of the state as a divinity is very helpful.
