POLITICS
****************************
My aim, my real aim, is not
to criticize or ridicule our leaders
but to lament the readiness with which
they are accepted as inevitable facts of life.
*
As a people we are like Blacks in America
before they developed a civil rights movement.
*
There are two kinds of government:
of men and (ii) of swine. Or
of the best (aristocracy) and the worst (ours).

NOTES / COMMENTS
************************************
What do Zohrab and Mikoyan
have in common?
They were both taken in by two
of the most notorious serial killers
in the history of mankind.
*
We may be smart in the market place
but dumb everywhere else.
*
We emphasize past grievances
we are in no position to change
and cover up present problems
with obvious solutions.
*
The main difference between
the rich and the poor is that
the poor ask
“What if I am wrong”
even when they are right,
and the rich think
“If I am wrong my lawyer will make it right.”

ANTI-PROPAGANDA
******************************
Where there is a moronized community
there will also be moronizers
actively engaged in standing between the community
and progress because progress
may expose them as habitual and compulsive liars
whose #1 concern is not the welfare of the community
but their own narrow and selfish interests –
men whose unspoken slogan is:
Speak unity, practice divisions
but do so only in the name
of the eternal snows of Mt. Ararat.
*
Am I saying anything you don’t already know?
*
Do I repeat myself?
Not as often as their propaganda.
If repetition works for propaganda,
why not for anti-propaganda?

ON JUSTICE
******************************
The most important thing about a country
is not its mountains and rivers,
its history and culture,
or its music and literature,
but its administration of justice.
A country with a corrupt justice system
is hell on earth and as such,
not fit for human consumption.
*
If you proceed on the assumption
that a man with contradictions is the norm
and a man without contradictions is the exception,
you will be closer to reality.
*
According to capitalist and communist propaganda,
the 1% is never wrong,
and there is more wisdom in cold cash and power
than in all of Socrates, Jesus, and Gandhi.
*
Writing consists in shedding a glimmer of light
in a dark corner of the psyche.

Re: politics

DIARY
******************************
I can truly say of myself that I have lost the war
but I may have won some minor and negligible battles –
judging by the degree of hostility I have managed to arouse
in some circles.
*
It is not easy speaking with an Armenian
without insulting him. I try. I try very hard
and sometimes, on very rare occasions,
I succeed.
*
My definition of bullxxxx: everything I was taught as a child
when I was in no position to think for myself.
*
On Beethoven: Just when you begin to suspect
he has run out of ideas,he comes up with two new ones.
*
On Nielsen: In a review of his Second Symphony, I run into the following expressions: “Brucknerian grandiosity,”
and "Berliozian energy.”

ON POPULARITY
*******************************
Popularity is an American aberration
and as such it should be seen as a liability
rather than an asset.
*
If membership of our political parties
has been going down steadily,
it may be because there is a natural tendency
in all of us to judge a man by his income bracket,
which ignores the fact that the 99%
outnumber the 1%.

What is the point of replacing one fairy tale with another? You know all those "muslim Armenians" were forced to convert under the threat of death. No thank you. If you want to preach something then please find something worth preaching about and perhaps then you will get more followers.
