While Condoleeza Rice's intent is that of an imperialist, her manner is
that of an prissy third grade teacher apparently unaware that not only
are most whom she scolds not in the third grade, they're not even in her
school district - Sam Smith

I READ once that the 200 richest people in the world have a combined
wealth greater than the GDP of each country in the world except for
five. If we are going to have this sort of thing, it may be worthwhile
thinking about reviving feudalism. At least under that system, the elite
had some social responsibilities. And manners.- Sam Smith

A DYSFUNCTIONAL DESPOT, George III, failed to prevent the creation of
the American republic, which lasted over two hundred years until a
dysfunctional despot, George II, destroyed it. - Sam Smith

In the end, it is not the culture from which we came but the one each of
us is helping to create that will matter. It is our common fate rather
than our disparate pasts that will ultimately describe, redeem, or
destroy us. - Sam Smith

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Our world is unlike any in human history - a world in which the
destruction of cultural and individual variety is high on the agenda of
the earth's political and business leaders - our human nature being to
them not a reason for existing but just another obstacle in their path
to power. The strategies by which this onslaught can be countered depend
on the imagination, passion, obstinacy and creativity of ordinary people
who refuse their consumptive assignments in the global marketplace, who
develop autonomous alternatives and who laugh when they are supposed to
be saluting. The business of constructing culture is no longer an
inherited and precisely defined task but a radical act demonstrating to
others that they are not alone and to ourselves that we are still human.
