Life
Life is a sexually transmitted, and ultimately fatal, disease
Greed
“Politicians never accuse you of 'greed' for wanting other people's money --- only for wanting to keep your own money”.
[ Joseph Sobran ]
ACLU
“I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth: Communism is the goal!.” [ Roger Baldwin, founder of the ACLU ]
Government
“The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out to groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods.” [ H. L. Mencken ]
The individual
"Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all."
[ Nikita Khrushchev , February 25, 1956 20th Congress of the Communist Party ]
"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society."
[ Hillary Clinton, 1993 ]
