My intellectual achievement was retarded when I went to high school. I sort of sank into a black hole because I had to go to the high-achieving, academic public high school.

The United States is off the international spectrum in religious extremism.

We're supposed to worship Adam Smith but you're not supposed to read him. That's too dangerous.

I think this country and the world would be far better off if the US is not an outlaw state.

The US and Israel have demanded further that Palestinians not only recognize Israel's rights as a state in the international system, but that they also recognize Israel's abstract right to exist, a concept that has no place in international law or diplomacy, and a right claimed by no one. In effect, the US and Israel are demanding that Palestinians . . . formally accept the legitimacy of their expulsion from their own land. They cannot be expected to accept that, just as Mexico does not grant the US the right to exist on half of Mexico's territory, gained by conquest.

Half the population hold that the government is run by a few big interests looking out for themselves, as polls regularly show.
