Words of Wisdom
- When we remember that we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
- – Mark Twain
- Whenever a particular freedom is put in question, freedom in general is put in question.
- – Karl Marx
- Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as it is for the body. Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.
- – Aldous Huxley
- I didn’t really say everything I said.
- – Yogi Berra
Snippets
The shadow which haunts the power structure is the danger that those who are controlled will come to realize that they are powerless only so long as they think they are. Once people stop believing they are powerless, then the whole edifice which they support is in danger of collapse.

If Hitchcock had made a film about neoliberal economics, the Chicago School of Economics would be the Bates Motel, Milton Friedman would be the demented proprietor, and Friedrich Hayek would be the dead mother in the attic.

The Left has engaged in the futile pursuit of ‘moving the NDP to the left’ since 1933, achieving pretty much the same result as a dog chasing its tail.
