Society Quotes

I do think the Obama agenda is the furthest left agenda we've seen since probably LBJ and the Great Society.

He's shown the country a much more aggressive liberal, more European style agenda, and that's on a center-right country.

It is not true that the perfection of police power is the result of the state’s Machiavellianism or of some transitory influence. The whole structure of society of society implies it, of necessity. The more we mobilize the forces of nature, the more must we mobilize men and the more do we require order.
Jacques Ellul

We're all born with the capacity to be our best selves - to be who we really are. Then we hear the messages that exist in our fear-based society, and we get beaten down.
