Evgeny MorozovThe reason we've been growing at 1.8 percent for the last eight, ten years, which is way below the historical average, is in large part because of our tax code.

Ron PaulMy view of university training is to unsettle the minds of young men, to widen their horizons, to inflame their intellects. It is not a hardening, or settling process.

Robert MClimate science has been targeted by a major political movement, environmentalism, as the focus of their efforts, wherein the natural disasters of the earth system, have come to be identified with man's activities - engendering fear as well as an agenda for societal reform and control...
