"In recent weeks the world has once again witnessed the
spectacle of political trials in the Soviet Union....It is for this
reason that we urge a boycott of the Moscow Olympics -- not as a
mandate from our government but as a spontaneous outpouring of a
free people."
-- Robert W. Poole Jr., "Boycott Moscow"
"The village board of Hempstead, New York, has outlawed 'for
sale' signs on local lawns. The ostensible reason is to prevent
'white flight.'"
-- Bill Birmingham, Brickbats
"The influential social position of this elite [of
anti-technology intellectuals], then, is threatened by the mass
prosperity that is bred by technology and free enterprise. What
better way to keep the riff-raff in its place than to kill both by
abolishing all but feudal energy sources?"
-- Petr Beckman, "Economics As If SOME People Mattered"
"Extreme egalitarianism attracts the guilt-ridden because it
promises to relieve their guilt....It is not poverty itself that
causes guilt for those who view it from a position of comfort; it
is their own complacency, contrasted with the poverty of
others?"
-- Allan Epstein, "The Politics of Guilt"
