"We want the land we battled for
  To be a land worth while.
We're sick uv greed, an' 'ate, an' strife,
An' all the mess that's made uv life."...

"If you are content, why would you get so angry that you blow yourself and others up? Yes, there is plenty to be angry about. But the best way to deal with anger is to find the most appropriate and efficient way to oppose the injustice. Blowing yourself up doesn't give you much opportunity for involvement in future struggles." Irfan Yusuf

"... the real problem for Greenspan's legacy concerns what happened to the American economy in the last five years, for which he bears heavy responsibility. Greenspan supported the tax cuts of 2001 with the most specious of arguments - that unless something was done about America's soaring fiscal surpluses, the national debt would be totally paid off within, say, ten to fifteen years. According to Greenspan, immediate action needed to be taken to avert this looming disaster, which would impede the Fed's ability to conduct monetary policy!" Joseph Stiglitz
