Re: politics

AS I SEE IT
***********************
Democracy is great if you can afford
one or more politicians –
the more the merrier.
*
Capitalism and communism create
more problems than they solve.
*
Forgiving from a position of weakness
is bullxxxx.
*
Civilized man is a heartless beast.
*
Patriotism is not an ideology
but a pathology.
*
In politics feet speak louder than the tongue.
*
God does not speak and those who quote him
are dealers in abracadabra.
*
Love is a cruel trap
designed by a heartless god.

*******************************
We are few and we are weak.
That doesn’t explain why
we are also divided and stupid.
*
It is not easy writing for an audience
99% of which are convinced
they don’t need a minor scribbler
telling them what to think.
*
On the radio this morning:
“60% of native children were sexually assaulted
by their schoolteachers.”
*
Life: by the time we understand the rules,
the game is up.
*
Sunrise and sunset are greater miracles
than the resurrection of the dead.

Gore Vidal on terrorism:
“You can’t go on treating people like dirt
and not get kicked in the face…”

I have wasted so much valuable time
trying to be popular when
I should have known all along
there is more merit in being unpopular.”
*
xxxx does not happen
and those who say it does are liars.
xxxx is conceived, planned and executed
by highly qualified idiots
who have brainwashed themselves to believe
god is on their side.
*
Fighting injustice is like being a solitary amateur
confronting a mob of seasoned pros –
a minnow in a pool of hungry barracudas.

As an Armenian I should have known that
if your enemies don’t get you, your friends will.
