"You could imagine a language exactly like English except it doesn't have connectives like 'and' that allow you to make longer expressions. An infant learning truncated English would have no idea about this: They would just pick it up as they would standard English."

"I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system."
Thought
"Actually, Bush, technically speaking, is not really President-because he refused to take the Oath of Office. I don't know how many of you noticed this, but the wording of the Oath of Office is written in the Constitution, so you can't fool around with it-and Bush refused to read it. The Oath of Office says something about, I promise to do this, that, and the other thing, and Bush added the words, so help me God. Well, that's illegal: he's not President, if anybody cares."

"Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections."

"The number of people killed by the sanctions in Iraq is greater than the total number of people killed by all weapons of mass destruction in all of history."
Consequence
"You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it."
Argument
"The debt is being cynically exploited by the far right, with collusion of the Democrat establishment, to undermine what remains of social programs, public education, unions, and, in general, remaining barriers to corporate tyranny."
Politics
"States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions."
