—Los Angeles Times columnist Robert Scheer, explaining his support for raising taxes on cigarettes to finance a new health-care entitlement for middle-class children
"With the arrival of capitalism and the inevitable shakeout of winners and losers, violent crime has increased, particularly among teenagers."

"The worst thing is that you see the whole issue of order start to slide. I lived in America in the `60s and I saw what happened: the slow erosion of authority. The society became less orderly than is desirable. I certainly don't want to see this happen."
