Socialism is about rolling back the tyranny of the market. As long as the economy is dominated by an unelected, privileged few, the case for socialism will exist.

Jimmy CannonI often joke with my audiences that I make most of my income on a ski pole. People smile but they get my point. You need to make time for your genius to flow.

Ernest HemingwaySmoking pot makes people talk for long periods of time, for instance, so people who advocate pot won't shut the hell up about it.

They also weren't laughing very much, but I think they were still having a good time.

Charles BukowskiBesides, the sense of safety offered by bottled water is a mirage. It turns out that breathing, not drinking, constitutes our main route of exposure to volatile pollutants in tap water, such as solvents, pesticides, and byproducts of water chlorination. As soon as the toilet is flushed or the faucet turned on-or the bathtub, the shower, the humidifier, the washing machine-these contaminants leave the water and enter the air. A recent study shows that the most efficient way of exposing yourself to chemical contaminants in tap water is to turn on a dishwasher.
